Welcome to PT, Val! I really enjoyed reading about your kitties and hope something can help your sick foster. Are you familiar with the raw diet? (www.felinefuture.com) One of my cats has IBD and he's on it most of the time. The "claim to fame" of the raw diet is that it restores the body (back to natural/nature type thing) so the body can heal itself. Making the food is kind of gross, but it gets easier after a while. I can do it in about 20 minutes now.

I'm Kelly, by the way. I belong to the 9 cats you see in my signature (plus 2 parakeets and 2 fish). Micah, the Aby, has IBD and is the one on the raw diet. We rescued him from the shelter we were volunteering at a few years ago, he was so ill when we got him. He's done wonderfully on the diet.

Anyway, nice "meeting" you and your furkids. Enjoy PT!
