My boy Jennings was just diagnosed with IBD, and I am trying to find a diet that works for him, so I have been reading old posts about it. He has not liked any of the prescription diets enough so far, so I think I will next try one of the venison or duck diets since he has never had those.

He is on prednisone now, and seems to have stabilized a bit. His stools are still loose, but not as bad, and he is at least eating enough to stop losing weight now. I have also ordered FortiFlora which should arrive tomorrow.

I thought I had a winner with home cooked food with U-stew supplements, but he bored of it after a week and wouldn't touch it again.

I hope your kitty is doing well. <3
