A couple of days ago, I went to feed the cats and Candy was going mental, batting evrybody who was near her, now she is fairly temperamental, but she was even going for Misty, who she doesn't bother with. She then had a go at me, so I held her down until she calmed down a bit- not hard but enough to stop her batting me.
She was a bit quiet the next day, but ate as normal, keen for food this morning, this afternoon she was sick and even more lethargic. I rushed her to the vet, convinced I'd done some damage, feeling totally gutted that I'd hurt one of them.
The vet can't really find much wrong, no temp, nothing sore but suspects a flair up of her IBD, and wonders if the aggressive behaviour was because she was sore- I feel awful- the vet gave her some injections and she then had some nasty diarrhoea. She is now on the bed but very quiet.
What does seem coincidental is that Jimmy, who is also suspected to have a form of IBD- gets very constipated- was very bunged up yesterday, I had to give him 2 enemas to get things moving and he was very uncomfortable. He has been fine for ages, so I wonder what has caused this I don't know of any changes over the last week, and the hi-life ingredients are the same. I am so worried, probably more so because I feel guilty- but she was being nasty at the time and gave me a nasty few scratches.
