Thanks Michelle. That's what I'm hoping for (that the depo will work). The next couple of days could be tedious. Now that I think about it, I think 3 days was for humans. As far as telling my internist to contact your oncologist, if I did that at this point, it would be strictly an ego thing. And

Tad, On my IBD list, feeding cats any veggies or grains is a big no no and will get you pounced on immediately, if you mention it. There's nothing toxic about it as far as I know, but a lot of cats with IBD have alergic/sensitivities to different foods and so they stay as close to a "wild"
