Michelle,I always go with what you say because you are so much more knowledgeable than I am. That being said. I have an IBD cat and I ALWAYS keep him on the same food. Anytime he gets a treat or different type of food he has problems. That's all I can tell you, and I'm sure the circumstances

You better "bother" us. That's what we're here for! That was not my intention at all! I understand the "roller coaster" effect, we all do. For me, decisions about going to the vet are never easy. I hate going to the vet as much as the cats do. I esp hate going only to find after the stress of

Michelle, I tend to be an agonizer too. What I have learned about myself is that if I make a decision and am still agonizing then it's not the right decision for me. I know a decision is the right one when I feel the weight lifted and just feel less agonized. There is no right or wrong decision -

Michelle, I am glad to hear Lucy is much better...I wouldn't put her through the vet visit yet.. My vet put Inky on 10mg of pred for 3 to 4 wks at the beginning of his treatment last year..then we went down to 5 for another several weeks...He isn't even on pred now as I finally weaned him off

So Lucy has been herself for the past 4 or 5 days, since going back on 10 mg/day of pred. She eats fairly well (roasted duck or raw food mixed with Beechnut baby food), has completely normal bowels, runs around like normal (in fact, brought in a half-dead mole a few hours ago, which I tried

Michelle, You crack me up! I know it's not funny, but you can certainly go 'round and 'round with the best of them! If you are asking what I'd do... I wouldn't take her on such a horrendous vet trip if she's catching and bringing you moles with enough fight in them to bite you in their final
