Maggie didn't try to dig her way out last night as bad as usual... Yay! In addition to her two catnip-rubbed buddies I also did a spritz of Feliway in the areas where she digs.
This morning at +3.5 we go back to the vet for a blood test to see if her ALT has lowered.

I'm glad she didn't try as hard to get out. Sending good vetty vines.

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Sending good vetty vines to Maggie!

Vetty vines for Ms Maggie .

 

[Stacy & Asia]

So many vetty vines for you, Miss Maggie! Glad the catnip and feliway seem to be helping.

We are back. I haven't received the emailed blood test result yet, but her ALT is much lower than 2 weeks ago but still above normal. Her BUN and creatinine are higher. I'll input the results when I get them.
I need to get some digestive enzymes because Maggie probably has IBD; gurgling tummy, nauseous. Any recommendations for digestive enzymes for kitties with IBD or pancreatitis?

I'm glad her ALT is lower, above normal, but still much lower is a good thing. Sorry about the kidney numbers. Don't know about digestive enzymes but following with interest because apart from asthma, if you swap sight loss for hearing loss, our kitties seem to be in sync with their multiple conditions.

@Marje and Gracie has recommended Animal Essentials before. Are you also giving Maggie a probiotic? I recently learned of one called Visbiome from an IM vet who deals with a lot of gut issues and it's supposed to be really good for IBD.

She's getting Saccharomyces boulardii1, /64 tea. BID. I'll check out the other supplements you mentioned, thanks!

Good to hear the ALT has come down, hope you get some good feedback on digestive enzymes, I have no experience to share there. Extra chin scritches for Maggie

I have some Dr. Goodpet that I can't use because Rose won't eat them. If you want to try these, PM me and I can send to you.

Those marking behaviors are a good sign, Maggie. I think your momma is almost ready to start sleeping in the laundry room.
