Question: I have an 8 year old cat that has diarrhea and is now starting to vomit. I’ve been battling the diarrhea for months with antibiotics. It seems to get better for awhile but keeps coming back. She still maintains a healthy weight and appetite. I don’t know if it is IBD or maybe allergies. I have ordered organic/natural food but won’t receive it until Monday. I would like
to find something natural/herbal to treat her condition. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

” Dear Pet Owner—
Try canned pumpkin [not the pie mix version]. Give your cat about one half teaspoon at every meal of the pumpkin.

Dear Owner,
Before treating your cat with anything, you first need an accurate diagnosis. If you are not satisfied with your cat’s current therapy, please ask for a referral to a specialist who can get the answers you need. Then and only then should you explore the various ways to successfully his/her condition.
