The Sick Pet thread

[Duck]

Zoe has been in and out of the vet for months now. She was going in every 3 weeks and sometimes sooner, getting medicine, etc. The bills are getting out of hand and she will need a biopsy.
She was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. This however isn't the only thing that could be wrong, which is why a biopsy may be in her near future.

I've been selling things, sorry let me rephrase that, trying to sell things to help make up for the cost. I was considering doing a donations page but with larger donations I would give a collectible gift. This way it's still like a sale.

We'll see. One step at a time. Hopefully I can get more stuff to sell.

If anyone has any advice to give with IBS in cats, that would be great. I've been reading like crazy and Zoe has been vomiting like crazy. That poor kid.

She is now on a wet food only diet. We feed her wellness so now she'll get all wellness. It's higher in fiber, no bi-products, etc. Just nice and costly. It's the price you pay to keep your sick baby healthy. Completely worth it. She is also on Prednisolone and antacids.


The vet said it was really rare for a kitten to have IBS. That makes me feel worse for my baby.

I'm sorry to hear that! I hate seeing my little buddy sick or hurt. It seriously breaks my heart. I would do anything for him. I really hope everything gets better for you and Zoe!

I really appreciate it. Phoenix has a cone collar on as he has been licking all his fur out. Zoë looks okay for now. Just need to keep an eye on her. It's hard when pets are sick. No clue if they understand.
