yep cerenia injectable is licensed in cats it's just the oral that isn't (but we've still used it)

She has had many x_rays and barium studies and a endoscope shows quite nasty inflamed lining of gut. Not tried maropitant with her. Thought wasnt available for felines. Maybe worth a shot. Is it cerenia off licence or is there other variety available? X

hmmmm....I'd probably suggest doing some imaging with a specialist before jumping into doing any surgery. I am presuming it is true vomit and not regurgitation.
Have you tried maropitant with her?

Tried z/d, royal canins hypoallergic, purina h/a. Meds- ranitadine and furosemide.

Tried pred,omepazole, somorgyl, metoclopramide, famotidine, laxapet. Over the last 2 years ive tried lots of combinations.

Once she decided she doesnt like vomiting a food she stops eating it. At moment i can get her to eat gi mod calory however her fpl test came back negative. Am open to any more suggestions steph. X

hi hun, what meds/food is she on for her IBD?

Cost will vary from place to place...and I'm not sure off the top of my head how much it would be with us, however we prefer to perform full thickness biopsies on kitties as it gives a better picture so it would be via exploratory coeliotomy. This is after imaging (x-rays and abdominal ultrasound with a specialist imager).
