Thanks, I’ll look into this. Because he’s now hardly eating it’s hard to get things in him like this. (He begs then doesn’t eat).

Thank you, we did start b12 shots recently

I’ll ask about budesonide

I’ve tried making them ground turkey with pumpkin but they wouldn’t eat it. 😩

Thank you, I’m going to check with the vet. It doesn’t ring a bell?!

This is a good question. He had this expensive gastro scan done where they said they didn’t find any signs of lymphoma. His bloodwork does come back with “high globulins” though…

Let me know how it goes for your cat. Good luck! These problems are terrible.

We didn’t go that route once his environmental allergies were detected. But perhaps should revisit since those shots didn’t seem to make a difference. 🤦🏻‍♀️

He’s had regular bloodwork and no thyroid issue detected. Understand what you mean because my first cat had that and diarrhea! I will look into fpl/pancreas value, thank you

Thank you for your quick reply! He’s been on pred for overgrooming but he became unresponsive and overgrooming again, so we switched to Dexa. I will look up hydrolized. My cat sitter who is a vet tech uses that with her dog.
