Seriously, during most of the first year of having her she had on/off diarrhea. I suppose when you take in a stray sitting on your doorstep-literally-no real idea of age or what she ate beforehand. I think it's food sensitivities. I try and find canned foods she will accept that are gluten-free (same for Cordelia) but finding something either one will eat regularly is difficult. Bella went though a period where she refused moist food completely. She is currently not a great candidate for raw food-if I could find something locally tho that is pre-packaged I would try it. <br />Have probiotics as well...keeping fingers/paws crossed.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449747603783219235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178177526388477873.post-54869827030181110872010-10-27T06:34:41.777-05:002010-10-27T06:34:41.777-05:00IBD seems to be very common in kitties.

So a lot of things tend to be lumped into "IBD," including food allergies. Treating her would be the same, I assume, regardless. Do you have the recipe for Slippery Elm Bark? If not, I think I still have it somewhere. Very soothing when they have flare-ups.<br /><br />Lots of purrs to Bella Mae!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
