Find Prescription Drugs

A few weeks ago, my cat had either an exacerbation (loose bowels) of her colitis (inflammation of the colon, part of the large intestine) or she had a stomach virus that has worsened the colitis. She was prescribed Flagyl which I believe is an anti-inflammatory as well as an antibiotic (in case she had a bacterial infection as opposed to viral) and while her bowels were bound up a little for a couple days, they would resume to being very loose. Here eyes get real dilated and then sometimes go back to normal size. She had blood work a couple weeks ago which thankfully came back as normal (negative results). We’re taking her to a vet that does conventional medicine as well as alternative medicine today but I’m so anxious and worried that I was hoping that someone could shed some light here and offer some input. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the responses. Unfortunately the vet believes that she her loose bowels are due to stress from SARDS (sudden acquired retinal degeneration). My cat has an appointment with an Opthalmic vet this weekend. We’ll fight for her though Perhaps there are some alternative methods such as herbs to increase quality of life if that is indeed the diagnosis.
Just an update: We went to the opthalmalic vet today and although he confirmed that my cat does have retinal degeneration, he didn’t believe that she would lose anymore site unless (heaven forbid) she got cataracts. We’re just going to get her checked a couple times a year. The dr also mentioned that cats don’t make their own taurine, an essential amino acid and that if it’s not in the diet (which she is actually on from the vet, but just fyi) that even though her problem is most likely genetic, the taurine may help if not getting adequate amounts by asking one’s vet. And the dr also said that brewer’s yeast may help slow down damage (not reverse it though) as it has been shown to help patients (humans) with MS/multiple sclerosis.
