    A long time ago one of my cats just kept throwing up; they couldn't find anything. The vet put her on Tagamet (this was a long time ago; first generation extra strong tummy meds.) She was on small portions of A/D, almost like I was feeding a kitten. Lately they use Pepcid for kidney cats; this is basically the same type of meds. Do you have anything like that in Europe? I'm spacing on the generic name at the minute (famotadine, maybe?)

    Good luck with your precious Luna.

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers, candles and advice! It's very much appreciated.

    Sorry for being short today, but I came down with a bad cold, and I just want to go to bed.

    Good news is, Luna did not throw up today, and she's more interested in other things - food included. She's still on i/d for the time being, but always wants to eat. She pooped this morning for the first time since she got so ill. She's now taking a med called Gastrosel to calm her stomach down; my vet suggested to go on with that for a while. So I have to wait and see what happens. If the puking continues, more tests and treatments will be in order, but I hope it is over!

    orangemm: How did they found out about Binky's IDB? Did she have endoscopy?

    Tanner was diagnosed with IBD a few years ago. At that time the vet told me the only definitive way to diagnose IBD is through a biopsy. Usually it is a condition that is diagnosed when all the other options have been ruled out.

    But I am really glad that Luna sounds like she is doing better

    Poor Tanner! Yes, a biopsy is making sense...
    But I'd figure that a cat with IBD has diarrhea also?
