Thanks for the info Laurie! If it turns out to be IBD, I'll be glad to know there's a group to turn to. Yes, making food seems daunting since I have a difficult enough time doing it for me and my husband (not because I don't like to, just busy). The winter is always less hectic, so I plan to

I am sorry for your loss too. I guess that is what they would have done with Monkee if we could have made it to the emergency vet in time, but when his respiratory distress hit, I knew we wouldn't make it even up from the bed, so I just held him, then he was gone. But we would have had to
