I hope that Milo Buttercups sphynx (great name!!) will be back to normal soon and that whatever is discovered to be the cause will not be serious. Please keep us updated.

Jenn, how did the vet determine that Sophie had diverticulitis? I'm wondering if my cat Jimmy might have this instead of IBD? They never did any xrays and just ruled things out to come up with the IBD diagnosis. Are there tests for diverticulitis or is it a ruling other things out kind of thing too?
Does the food you give Sophie now have extra fiber?
