Need some help! Cat on prescription diet temporarily

[Herzo]

Glad to hear there doing better. You've had a tough go of it. Not an easy task.

Hi there!

I'm curious as to how Rocky is now? I'm currently treating my 7 year old cat for Fatty Liver... we're force-feeding too. It's... trying.

Anyway, I'm hoping that there's light at the end of this tunnel.
Hope everyone is well.

Everything checks out okay with Rocky. He cannot have kibble because of IBS type problems when he eats it (pretty much only vomiting). He has a sensitive tummy that just can't handle it anymore.

He's been completely back to normal for several weeks now. Especially since he harasses me by following me everywhere and biting my fingers to remind me it's meal time. *rolls eyes* He's been having some hairball issues as of lately, but adding digestive enzymes to his diet did the trick.

I'm still slowly working on switching him (and the other two) to raw foods and completely off of fish since they became so addicted to it and (still) refuse anything but fish. It's going to be a slow, long road. Rocky is nicely maintaining his weight, though it couldn't hurt if he would gain half a pound.

He still does want kibble and will occasionally hold out for a few hours before eating canned. So long as he doesn't go longer than 12 hours without eating I will not give in. I'll force feed him over giving him kibble again.

I am so sorry! :( I know it's hard and frustrating, but you'll get there! Any idea if there was/is an underlying issue?

Not sure about an underlying issue yet. There was a definitive reason that she started losing weight though... and it just came off quickly. I've been reading that that can be enough to trigger going off food, but... I don't know.

I'm so glad he's doing better now. It's good to know that there are instances where the cat bounces back. <3
