Hi there! I'm glad you reached out about your cat's care. Managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in cats can be tricky, but with the right approach, many cats can live comfortable lives.
Steroid injections are often used to help reduce inflammation and manage symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting associated with IBD. The schedule for these injections can vary widely depending on your cat's specific needs and response to treatment. Typically, a vet might start with more frequent injections and gradually decrease the frequency as your cat's symptoms improve.
It's important to monitor your cat closely for any side effects or changes in behavior after receiving steroids. Common side effects include increased thirst, appetite, or urination. If you notice lethargy, persistent vomiting, or any signs of infection like unusual swellings or a fever, it’s best to consult a vet as these could indicate more serious issues.
At home, you can help your cat by maintaining a stress-free environment and feeding them a vet-recommended diet that's easy on their stomach.
If you're noticing changes in your cat's symptoms or need some guidance on their treatment plan, I strongly recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet. We're here to help ensure your cat stays as healthy and happy as possible!

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
