Where do I start?
First let me point out that I have taken Khaleesi to the vet, on 2 separate occasions.
The first time was about 4 months ago when Khaleesi found her way into the kitchen and helped
herself to the leftovers (a cooked bratwurst) on the stove.
**We have since made the kitchen counters inaccessible to her**
The next day was horrible, she was vomiting about 5 times a day (for 2 days).
She couldn't handle any food, and even when she wasn't eating, she was just throwing up bile? slime?
She was still very much her crazy self, and my fiance and I assumed the sickness would pass.
Then came the diarrhea. (sorry I'm about to get into details)
Explosive, loose, pudding consistency. This lasted another 24 hours, along with the vomiting
We took her to the vet, they did a fecal test, nothing abnormal, they gave injected fluids on her neck/shoulder (for dehydration) and sent me home with antibiotics (metronidazole), and 4 cans of royal canin (digestive) . I was going out of town literally the next day, so to my horror, I had to take my poopy cat to my mother's house
(who has no experience with cats mind you) for 3 days. Well Khaleesi scared my mom with her hissing, and my mom could never give her the syringe of antibiotics. I came home to find Khaleesi basically completely healed from her sickness, without any doses of her antibiotics. I spent about $250 at the vet, for the cans of royal canin. Basically.
Fast foward to 3 weeks ago, when I came home with a new type of wet food. ::face palm::
Khal usually gets wellness core original wet, and dry. I thought it would be a special treat to get her the
"venison" version of the same brand.
That night, (graphic details again I'm sorry) Khaleesi started crying on the stairs, I know her upset wailing cry, so I ran straight to her, and she just started pooping, all. over. herself. She looked at her butt, looked at me, and just meowed so sadly. The first week was explosive runny stools. No vomiting.
I was hesitant to take her to the vet because this sickness, with an apparent red meat onset, has cured itself before. I tried forti flora, I tried fasting her on two separate occasions. Nothing is clearing the loose stools.
So another week goes by, She has at least 10 accidents all around the house, in my bed while she was sleeping on top of me, on my pillow, on my lap in the living room, just basically everywhere.
She has had at least 6 baths in those first 2 weeks. I felt horrible not being able to help, so I called the vet.
I take her to the vet, I get the same antibiotics, same canned food,
and they tell me to keep mixing in the forti flora. That night, her first poop was solid.
PRAISE THE LAWD..........Then the next day. back to runny poop.
So here we are, 5 days later. runny poop every day. I don't know what to do.
I have to wipe my cats butt after EVERY bowel movement, I'm wiping her butt more than I wipe my own butt these last 3 weeks and I am just worn out. I know Khaleesi is too, I wish I knew the solution to her problem.
Khaleesi is great, she turns into a monkey every day, bounces around the house every evening still.
She seems totally fine, but these bowel movements can not be normal.
I'm on the fence of either testing out different diets, or going to the vet again.
Thanks for reading.
I'm open to any and all suggestions. I realize it might be IBS.
I also think the fortiflora is making it worse, is that even possible?
Antibiotics have not helped.
I'm just at a dead end, and need someone to point us in the right direction.
Thank you again, I get a little long winded when I type, sorry!
