Thanks for your posts guys.
Well, this may sound ridiculous but I have the best news!! Jimmy took his first normal (well, almost normal, 90% normal) poo since we've had him. In the almost 6 years that he's been with us, he has had chronic diarrhea and we had been giving him prednisilone for his asthma and his IBD. His poop was always kind of like little pancakes though and sometimes much, much worse.
But ever since he started on this Gastro diet of dry and wet food and the treatment of antibiotics and then the continued treatment of Metronidazole, he has been improving steadily. One of the best parts is that his poop doesn't smell. Before all this, when Jimmy was heading to the box, and it was often, we all had to evacuate the room. But now, it has zero smell to it! It's AWESOME. As well, his asthma is mysteriously clearing up. It's not gone, but is so much better. I think he has been suffering with a severe food allergy all this time.
So, I've been checking the box whenever I happen to be in the room when he's using it and about ten minutes ago I watched him go in the box and as soon as he was done I interrupted him so he couldn't cover it and I checked and absolutely could not believe my eyes. It was almost regular poop!!! Again, I know how absurd this sounds but I'm so friggin' thrilled! LOL Jimmy is too. You should have seen him fly out that box and climb the cat tree and attack it like a crazy man. He's feeling like a new man.
p.s. I even called my husband into the room to show him. LOL We high fived each other for Jim's success! LOL
