IBD is inflammatory bowel disease, much different from irritable bowel syndrome which is a functional problem
I'm still mourning the loss of my beloved cat, Alley to either IBD or Lymphoma. This episode will hopefully help with my healing as I felt responsible for not being aware of IBD in cats. We were initially treating pancreatitis but the IBD was not specifically discussed in the early diagnosis. We started with X-rays and blood tests, and I opted to wait on the ultra-sound. After two months of treating the pancreatitis she continued to lose weight and additional symptoms began appearing. At this point, we began treating the IBD while we waited for ultra-sound appointment. After an ultra-sound showed significant thickening of the small intestines, and enlarged lymph cells, we began treating the Lymphoma along with the IBD, as is common practice. After another two months, her body was not responding to any of the treatments, and her weight loss was accelerating at an alarming rate. My vet recommended that it was time to say good bye. I'm still trying to find peace with my decision. My heart is so broken. All I can do at this point is to learn from this experience, and apply this knowledge to the care of her sister, Sassy. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone in this journey of becoming a better cat parent.
I am so sorry to hear this and so very sorry for your loss. Sadly, it is very common and is becoming even more common in our precious cats. Thank you for sharing your story. I believe that our pets come to us as teachers and we honor them by learning and doing better as we can.
Wow. What an amazing episode! Thank you all for all your great insight and sharing this with us. Much love from TX! 😺
Commercial food additives are not good like carrageenan or grain
My cat needs this restore kit but it's waaaay too expensive when you have to keep buying this their entire life. What can I do if I can't afford this option? For now she's on that steroid you mentioned and fortiflora SA,
Doctors have been giving her the antibiotic that you mentioned since December from The day her symptoms started. It has been 3 months and she finally got an ultrasound and all of those tests with biopsies and now they're doing a lymphoma test with the samples because the diarrhea keeps coming back and I'm not giving her any more of the antibiotic because that's obviously not helping once it finishes after a week
I wish people cared enough to have cheaper options for pet parents instead of charging an arm and a leg for everything just because they know we love them and that they have to have it for their health 🤔🤔🤔
I also can't change her diet she's on a CD prescription diet for struveitis
I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty. It's a very difficult road to travel, I know, I've been there with 2 of my cats.
I know the 2CCL personally and they do not make much money on their products. Cost of quality ingredients is not cheap and they always do the best they can to keep prices as low as possible.
That said, they do run slaes sometimes and it's worth signing up for their VIP and/or their texting program to get notified of sales.
Also, you may want to look into a different diet. Prescription diets are not medicine and you pay an absurd amount for something that is not really helping the situation. Specifically for UT issues, you'd do MUCH better to switch to a moisture rich diet and spend the savings on the supplements you need. Of course, that's just my opinion. Every animal is an individual and specific needs for each individual need to be met.
Totally going through this with one cat. He’s doing better but still has some bouts of vomiting. It seems always to be in the army hours of the morning, but is always fine throughout the day.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I wish you and your cat all the best. I hope the 2CCL products can help. They've been a blessing to my cats for sure. It may also be of interest for you to look into TCVM and the timing of their vomiting as it relates to organ systems in the body. Very interesting stuff!
I get up once or twice a night to feed my cat a small meal and she has stopped vomiting in the morning. If she goes over 5 hours without eating, she gets nauseous and vomits from stomach acid, then she won’t eat. (This is from upper small intestine IBD, whereas diarrhea is from lower small intestine IBD.)
Hi! Questions……, how old do you think a cat can live with IBD, after the diarrhea started? My cat is 18 now. And can it really cause intestinal lymphoma? Since this is a long video it’s hard to pick up on everything. My cat first started having diarrhea problems at 14 after years of Friskies diet. He’s been treated with steroids, B-12 injections and changed diet……. Just discovered Carrageenan thing (even the prescribed foods has it) he lost a lot of weight recently but we can’t test for cancer cuz it’s too invasive. His bloodwork labs didn’t show any organ failure which surprised the doctor. That’s all I’ll write for now, since it seems like no one ever replies to their TH-cam videos.
Erik, I am so sorry to hear about kitty!
It's hard to say how long the cat can live because everyone is an individual and there are many factors to consider.
I completely understand that you wouldn't want to continue testing. In my case, I chose not to as well. It just didn't make sense when the treatment is the same either way.
I truly do recommend the IBD kit from the 2CCL. If you are in need of more individualized support, I am now a Certified Holistic Pet Health Coach. You can book a free introductory call on my website www.jessicalfisher.com
My cat likes rehydrated powdered raw goats milk, but won’t drink thawed frozen raw goats milk. 🤷♀️
