[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need a vet who really, really, really understands feline GI issues.  One is Dr. Fiona McClure at NORthside Veterinary Hospital but I am told that she is not accepting new patients, which is a real shame, b/c she turned things around drastically when our female cat was having same probs.  (Our cat basically has irritable bowel disorder, and was sensitive to some ingredients in foods, and also sensitive to stress.)  So, gosh, I don't know who else to recommend, but maybe someone else on here can chime in?  I have found that your typical, run-of-the-mill VET does NOT understand these things thoroughly; we came to Dr. Fiona after leaving our previous vet (who shall remain unnamed) who was supposedly super-awesome but really did nothing to help us.  I was at my wit's end and my DH was adamant that we had to give her away.  But I was like, "Who's going to want a cat who pees, poops, and thorws up everywhere??  Giving her away would be a death sentence."  I am so glad we found Dr. Fiona, suffice it to say.  :*)[/quote]

I am 10:21, and this PP is so right.  It does sound like your cat has irritable bowel and you can probably turn it around -- but it takes some sleuthing.  IME though, once you figure it out, you're good for years!

We "figured it out" with a holistic vet on the West Coast, so I can't help you here but I would call the Vet this PP saw and ask for a similar practice.  I guarantee she will know one other person and that you'll probably have to drive far -- they never work in the same zip code.

Alternatively (pun intended), look up her CV online and see where she went to school and who her classmates are.  Hopefully there's one in the metro, but maybe there is a practice in, say, Annapolis or Richmond like hers.

As I said, once you figure it out, you don't have to keep going in just to hear your cat can't eat fish over and over.  So it may be well worth driving out of town to see a Dr. Fiona-like person.
