I don't remember Pica being a symptom of IBD. It certainly is of
anemia. I'd be very interested to know if it is of dental problems as
well. When Gracie would lick cement, I'd stick her back on Dox. I
always worried about continually treating her with Dox, but it did seem
to get rid of the anemia, (we suspected Hemobartinella, even though the
tests were neg).
Prayers for Pekoe,

You know, I seem to remember seeing somewhere, when I was
researching dental problems in cats, that it can cause pica, which is
the licking concrete thing. I am not sure, though-- I have researched
so many things lately that it could have said IBD or something else
other than dental problems is a cause of pica and I am remembering it
wrong. But it is worth doing a search on cat, dental or teeth, and pica.

As far as anemia, I would be concerned about Pekoe licking the
concrete whether or not it shows up in the bloodwork. If the bloodwork
showed nothing at all I'd at least get Pekoe on a good multi-vitamin
(if you're not already doing supplements).
