Marie was pretty consistently miserable. It was obvious that her tummy hurt a
lot. And she was leaking watery/bloody feces. (Didn't even look like feces.
Very scary.) Any chance that the pred is affecting the timing of Lucy's
discomfort?

particular time of day? Lucy has had colitis symptoms before, treated with pred
and flagyl, just has never had these episodes of a few hours a day of visible
dicomfort. other times of day she eats, etc., but this is the second time in 3
nights she has been sick at night.
thanks,

One of my own cats, Marie, developed colitis as a result of tritrichomonas
foetus. Took months to get her through it. Her lower intestines were so
inflamed that she was in pain and did not want to eat. What really worked for
her was a depo medrol injection. That got the inflammation down while the
metronidazole (after the ronidazole) had time to work. Over a 6 month period
she needed 2 depo injections. I've had two other cats with bad parasite
infections who needed a depo injection while treatment kicked in.
Side note -- my vet did not want to call it "IBD" because he felt the term
was overused. He called it colitis and the tritrich was confirmed by a fecal
test.
