Hills Prescription Diets

Ralph becomes so lethargic and refuses to eat, then starts to vomit!!! When the vet palpates his abdomen, she notes he guards it, but it is tender, He usually is put on Baytril for 14 days(this last time longer). He has been having more frequent episodes and it is taking him longer to come back, but he is nearly 14. Ralph is now eating a homemade diet.If I were you, I would go to the Hill's website and you can send them a message about why they changed the ingredients to the I/D. They will response back in a few days. I do not care for their food, but I have 2 kidney cats that eat their K/D minced. The regular K/D had the consistency of a hockey puck!!! Please let us know what you find out!!!! Thanks! Sandra

I happen to have samples of a pure Aloe gel made by Herbalife - not to push a partcular brand...but the Aloe Drink has chamomile in it too, and has helped MANY of my friends with IBS and other digestive troubles.

It soothes inner inflammation like Aloe does on the skin.

You might want to check with vets or a good health food store, and try a wee dab on their paws. It won't hurt - and certainly might help!

Just a thought.

Lizzie made a good point that I forgot to mention!! Ralph, like her Dodger, is taking a heartburn OTC medication: Pepcid 2.5 mg 15 minutes BEFORE meals. You also can get the generic: famotidine. A 10 mg tab can be split(I used a pill cutter)into quaters which equal 25. mg. Maybe ask your vet about that.
