Hello, all! Lovely to meet you. I am mom to two kitts, Oreo and Mini. Mini was recently diagnosed with IBD so I've been scouring forums like this one when I have questions to hear about others' experiences.
My reason for joining the forum at this time is a question that I haven't found a great answer to yet: Mini recently recovered from an IBD flare (diagnosed and medicated by vet after she got into Oreo's food, we're very confident that was the issue) that included about two days of diarrhea. Since then her meds have normalized her stool and appetite but she is hesitant to go to the litter box when she needs to defecate (urination is no problem). Today she ended up going outside the box for the first time since I've had her. Never having had this problem before, I wondered if one of you could help.
I intend to call my vet on Monday of course, but since she hasn't been straining or producing more diarrhea I'm guessing there is little they can recommend medically.
