I had a cat for many years who had IBD. When this happened to her, I would
give her warmed, meated baby foods (without onion) until she regained her
appetite.

All,

I have a 14 year old who has been diagnosed with IBD. Previously, she
had stopped eating and was vomitting. We started her on Flagyll and
Predisone and put her on Rabbit and Pea, Venison etc and she
recovered. We tapered off gradually over about six months. Suddenly,
about five days ago, she stopped eating again. Took her to the vet
and bloodwork shows IBD is flairing up again. We've increased the
meds again. Problem is that she still not showing much interest in
eating. I'm pretty sure she got dehydrated and we took her back
yesterday for water infusion. She ate some last night but only a tiny
bit this morning. I'm worried about her dehydrating again and not
eating enough. Keeping her restricted diet in mind, what can I do to
ensure she gets enough water and starts to eat more?

Thanks for any ideas you can offer,

Rob
