Another cat could not tolerate canned in any form, for reasons no one clearly understood. And she’s been to many vets, it’s not an issue of one vet not being able to fix the problem. She can eat dry only, and eats the EVO dry. While this flies in the face of what you would expect to work, it does in fact work for this particular cat. She can also eat – for unknown reasons – California Natural Chicken and Rice dry.

IBD is not clearly understood. With many cats, it’s a trial and error to see what they can eat, and what they cannot eat. The first thing of course is to eliminate any corn, by-products, dyes, preservatives, and so forth. Minimal or no grain, canned preferably. Streroids aren’t good for cats, but they do have their uses – short term. A round of them can really settle down the digestive tract, and relieve that explosive darrhea that they can get. A vet who wants to try a round of steroids to settle the system is totally different than a vet who uses them long term and without trying other things first.

Good luck with her – it *is* a manageble issue, but it may take a while to find out just how to do that.
