To address NoahsMommy - Baby is currently taking Prednisone - 2.5mg per day. Started out at 5mg per day the first 7 days. Most kitties respond w/in 3 days, but Baby was already so sick. It is treatable w/meds and diet, but not curable.

He was diagnosed via bloodwork, x-rays, and an ultrasound (approx $500 for all the tests). Bloodwork showed elevated levels of globulins meaning he had been suffering from from something inflammatory. X-rays showed possible fluid around heart and belly, so ultrasound helped confirm IBD and not heart disease. His symptoms were pulling out his fur on his belly and sides, decreased appetite, daily vomiting, decreased stool, turning to diarrhea, and bloody diarrhea in the days b/f his diagnosis. Then he completely stopped eating. He had exhibited symptoms gradually over the past 6-9 months, and really got sick just within the past month.

Hope this helps you with Micah.[COLOR=royalblue]
