  3. Hi there! Nico and Virgil seemed to have IBD. Per our vet's advice, we got switched to a grain-free diet and that helped. However, recently, our Mama switched us all to a raw diet, and Nico n' Virgil are doing super! Nobody has stinky poo anymore, and we've got lots n' lots of energy!

    Mama says she got a lot of info here:
    http://www.catnutrition.org/
    http://www.catinfo.org/

    The folks don't have much time to prepare our food, so they order our raw diet from here:

    One of our vets really supports it, and another one is a little cautious, but otherwise supportive as well. At any rate, we hope this info helps!

  4. I am sorry that Kintaro is having poopy problems. Is he on any special food? There are lots of "digestive care" food for cats on the market.

    Also, you can try canned pumpkin (it's just plain pumpkin, NOT pumpkin pie mix). It is a simple and easy thing to try; just a couple teaspoons a day. The fiber soaks up the excess fluid in the intestine and helps "bind" things up a little bit. It also helps cats with constipation, too.

  10. Oh, he's just the cutest thing! We're so sorry to hear that he's sick. We have a kitty friend who the vets thought must have IBD. they tried all kinds of medicines and foods, but nothing really worked. It turns out that she's allergic to grains. In humans it's called "celiac disease" and you can read about it here: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/. Now that her kitty only eats Innova Evo and some other completely grain free foods, she's fine. We think the food is usually the problem. Try Evo. It keeps Cocoa from getting the Itchys too.

  13. We're sorry that Kintaro is not feeling so good - neither of us has ever had anything like that so we don't have info for you. Maybe a change in diet like some of the other kitties have suggested here might help,

    Purrs
