I am glad to hear nothing scary (for lack of better words).

I too am a big fan of Cornell. I used their 1-800 hotline to consult with an Oncologist before having Pookey's leg amputated due to cancer (from Rabies shot). The Oncologist spoke to me for an hour for the low cost of $35 (their consult fee). He was an expert in the field who'd dealt with cancer in thousands of cats.

Stanley has had IBD for about 2 1/2 years and fairly mild treatments have held it in check, haven't had to graduate to stronger meds yet. He's pretty much done very well on a stool softner and Hairball meds/treats. Bowel probs are common in older cats. His hit around age 13. He was badly constipated and they had to give him an enema. He was vomiting and lost weight because he was blocked... It took them a while to figure out what the cause was before they treated him. He sat at the vet for a couple days and we thought we were going to lose him before they figured out he just had to go #2. He actually went #2 with the help of an enema on my birthday and came home that day... Recovered quickly... IBD can be caused by the colon stretching, etc., not working 100% to expel stools. It is something that when caught early can be treated pretty easy before it becomes Megacolon... But, your vet will have to help decide if this is a problem.
