Thanks for reaching out about your cat's possible IBD flare-up. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in cats is a chronic condition where the gastrointestinal tract becomes inflamed, leading to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and poor coat condition. Flare-ups can be triggered by stress, dietary changes, or infection.
At home, ensure your cat is comfortable and has access to fresh water, as dehydration is a concern if they're having diarrhea or vomiting. A bland diet, such as boiled chicken or turkey with rice, can be soothing temporarily. You might also try a hypoallergenic diet recommended by your vet for long-term management.
Monitor your cat closely; if you notice lethargy, blood in their stool or vomit, refusal to eat or drink, or rapid weight loss, these may indicate a more serious issue needing immediate veterinary attention.
Consider booking a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet to discuss your cat's symptoms further. They can provide personalized advice and determine if additional tests or treatments are necessary to keep your furry friend happy and healthy.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
