Sunny's Doing Well & Pearl's Now Doing Much Better!!!:Latest SKY Update 6-17-09

I thought that Pearl's stools were under control but I found out that tonight she's still having liquid diarrhea.

While she was on the medicine, she seemed to be getting better. After she finished her medicine, I started giving her Primal Defense Powder mixed in canned food but this caused some loose stools so I tried some baby food. Then this caused liquid diarrhea so I stopped this on Tues. She was still having issues so I fasted her for about 14 hours from Thurs. evening around 7pm to Fri. morning around 9am. I then only gave her a little bit of dry Innova Evo and she seemed to be doing better.

Today I gave her a little more Innova Evo but not as much as I usually do. Tonight she had more liquid diarrhea.

I e-mailed and also left a voice mail with my vet asking her what I should do next. She works tomorrow from 7am-5pm so hopefully I'll here from her then. Pearl's last stool test came back negative so now I fear that she may also have a form of IBD or even colitis.

I have plenty of prednisolone to give her if my vet feels that this will help her. I hate giving this to her but if it'll help calm her tummy down then I may have to. Please send some good vibes to Pearl. Thanks.

I'm sorry the poo trouble continues. As you probably read, Pinot just went through an issue with loose stool (NOT diarrhea). We found that adding water to her dry food was one of the curatives and made her much happier. I don't know if this will help, but just a thought....

I wish it was that easy. It seems that by giving her any form of wet food seems to make her worse. Now since her tummy is still upset, even the dry food is causing her to have liquid diarrhea. My vet agreed that putting her on pred for week may help. I'll then talk with my vet in 1 week and we'll see how to go from there. Hopefully she won't have to continue being on the pred because this causes cats to gain a lot of weight because they drink a lot. My Starr is already on it and has to be for life for his IBD/Colitis problems and he's gained a lot of weight so now he can barely clean his own bottom.
