We put him on the raw diet....that was after trying Hills Z/D, I/D, W/D, Chicken Soup, Wellness and a few others. He was on it for a few months and then I began mixing it with Innova Wet and feeding him dry Royal Canin Special. (He loved the raw, but really, really missed the crunchy food)

Now, he eats his Royal Canin & IVD crunchies and gets Innova wet and IVD wet mixed together.

Why does your vet think Kelcee has IBD? Especially if she didn't have any sort of digestion problems before? Blood in feces isn't automatically IBD, nor is adversion to milk because all cats are lactose intolerant.

My Micah was so sick from the second we saw him. He almost lived in his litterbox at the shelter and at home. He'd cry in the litterbox and you could hear his diarrhea from the next room (sorry to be gross). He little butt was always red and raw from him continually going...and he wieghed 5 pounds.

I'm confused as to why they are looking for IBD vs. her kidney problems. Hmmm...are the two linked? I wonder if they are, as Micah's levels were a bit low.

Does Kelcee seem like her tummy hurts? You mentioned she doesn't eat much lately and she's losing weight. Has she always had a small appetite?
