Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Today is a sad day. We made the choice to put our 11 year old cat Mrs Rabies to sleep. She had kidney failure and it really didn't seem like she would survive long. I have heard of cats surviving for some time on the special kidney food and it made my decision really hard. But Rabies was so unhealthy and lost so much weight and had water drinking issues anyway. The worst part is in the last few months as she got weaker and sicker she was so much more cuddly and around us so much more (she used to be in the basement most of the time). So we are sad and trying to stay confident that we made the right decision. My hub never professed a lot of love for this cat but he cried almost as much as me when we were making the decision to let her go.
Her is her picture. She was very pretty.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
