A happy customer shared that her cat's digestive and coat health significantly improved after consuming Furry Green fresh food and other nutritional supplements. Here is an update on her cat's condition over a few months.

From Illness to Recovery: One Cat’s Journey

The cat's health and vitality noticeably improved with a new diet.

When our client's cat began losing weight and vomiting frequently, she knew something was wrong. At first, the cat stopped eating dry food, then eventually refused all food. A veterinary examination led to a diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Determined to help her cat, our client considered preparing a homemade diet but was concerned about the time commitment and the difficulty of ensuring complete, balanced nutrition for a cat with a medical condition. Instead, she began looking for a commercially prepared fresh-food option that was both nutritionally sound and affordable.

She eventually found a fresh cat food option that used natural ingredients and contained no preservatives or artificial additives. Alongside the new diet, she added probiotic powder and a nutritional paste to support digestion.

The Challenge of Homemade Diets for Cats with IBD

Considering the time-consuming nature of preparing a balanced homemade diet and the lack of professional nutritional knowledge, the customer was concerned that homemade fresh pet food might not provide the necessary nutrients for her cat.

As a result, the customer searched for pet food manufacturers on the market and eventually found our company, which provides reasonably priced fresh pet food. 🤝

Remarkable Improvement in Cat's IBD Condition

The cat is currently consuming Furry Green fresh cat food, along with probiotic powder and a nutritional paste. After three months of this new regimen, the cat's condition stabilized significantly in the second month.

Furry Green Recommendations for Cats with IBD

Comprehensive Guide to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in Cats

Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic condition where immune cells infiltrate the GI tract, causing inflammation and digestion issues. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatments is key to managing the condition effectively.

What Causes IBD in Cats?

  • Abnormal immune response to food or gut bacteria
  • Food allergies or intolerances
  • Genetic predisposition (some purebred cats may be more affected)
  • Changes in the gut microbiome

Common Symptoms

  • Chronic vomiting (especially if the stomach is affected)
  • Chronic diarrhea (if the intestines are involved)
  • Weight loss
  • Decreased or fluctuating appetite
  • Lethargy
  • Occasionally, blood in stool or an increased appetite due to nutrient malabsorption

Diagnosis & Treatment

A definitive diagnosis often requires a veterinary examination, including ultrasounds and tissue biopsies. Treatment focuses on managing the condition, as there is no cure.

  • Dietary Management: Switching to a novel or hydrolyzed protein diet can reduce the immune system's overreaction. Fresh, natural ingredients are often better tolerated.
  • Medications: Corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs may be prescribed for moderate to severe cases.
  • Supportive Care: Probiotics, nutritional supplements, and proper hydration can help improve overall gut health.

Note: IBD management should always be guided by a veterinarian, as symptoms can overlap with other serious conditions like intestinal lymphoma, parasites, or infections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the first signs of IBD in cats?

Early signs of IBD in cats often include chronic vomiting, diarrhea, noticeable weight loss, and changes in appetite. Some cats may become lethargic or have a dull coat. Since these symptoms can indicate other serious conditions, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis.

Can a fresh food diet really help a cat with IBD?

Yes, a fresh food diet can be highly beneficial for cats with IBD. These diets often use high-quality, limited, or novel protein sources that are less likely to trigger an immune response. The high moisture content and lack of artificial additives in fresh food can also improve digestion and nutrient absorption, as seen in the success story shared in this article.

How long does it take to see improvements after changing a cat's diet?

The timeframe for improvement can vary. As highlighted in our customer's journey, some positive changes in appetite may occur in the first month, with more significant stabilization, such as reduced vomiting and improved coat health, becoming evident in the second and third months. Consistency is key, and any dietary changes should be made under veterinary guidance.
