feline inflammatory bowel disease
feline inflammatory bowel disease. Will the new cure for human IBD, fecal transplantation, work for cats with IBD? New articles are saying there is a 90% cure rate for humans and Mayo Clinic says they are looking into the fecal transplantation now for other diseases such as celiac, diabetes, obesity, autism, allergies, and arthritis. I have 2 cats with IBD and several cats and one dog with allergies. It would be great if they could all be cured with this new procedure. Also, does anyone out there have any more 5 mg prednisolone tablets I could purchase for my 2 cats with IBD? The prednisone doesn’t work and they hate the liquid form from the compounding pharmacy.

I have no knowledge of the fecal transplantation being tried in cats. I have checked with a continuing education site for veterinarians and they also have no knowledge of this being done in animals. In humans success depends on the cause of the IBD being from a bacteria called Clostridium difficile, which may not be the cause of the IBD we see in cats. I am not aware of the prednisolone tablets being off the market. It would be a matter of getting a prescription from your veterinarian to fill at a pharmacy of your choice.
