Cat is 13, and has had more health problems than I can count. As a young cat she had a lot of upset stomach type issues but that pretty much settled down when she was put onto sensitively control diet. Fast forward to last year and she got all thin and ravenous, and was eventually diagnosed in April this year as diabetic (probably due to diet, I now know that dry food isn't great for cats and cereal based food even worse!). I changed her onto tins of chicken only wet food ( she has always been able to eat chicken) and we started insulin injections. She improved initially, but then stopped putting on weight and her occasional vomitting increased in frequency to every night. Then she started getting bloody diahorrea. Since September she has has had two lots of antibiotics, and is currently on the third. Each time there has been a dramatic improvement for about 6 days and then the vomitting and diahorrea start again. I am finding this so hard to live with, especially as she doesn't seem to like her litter tray and often goes beside it. The house stinks in the morning and often cat and furniture, carpets etc are soiled. The vets don't know what to do and I don't either. She obviously gets bouts of tummy ache, but isn't at the stage of discomfort where she would need to be put down. I feel awful, but wish I had refused the insulin as she would have reached the end of her life quite quickly. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do? What can you give a cat with bowel disease? And how do you live with the incessant sick and poo all over your kitchen and living room? And how do you control your own gag reflex? I used to be fairly robust but now start retching as soon as I begin the clear up.
