I was diagnosed with Crohn's a few months ago, but suffered severe pain for two and a half years. They put me on steroids and I'm about to start Cimzia. I feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel for me, so I'm okay for now.
But, just this week, my cat started vomiting like crazy, wouldn't poop, wouldn't eat, and was looking generally bad. Long story short, she has thickened intestine walls. The vet said it's IBD. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The vet said they'd put her on steroids and she'd probably be on them the rest of her life. She's 13yo. They are also putting in a feeding tube since she still isn't eating. She'll be coming home today or tomorrow.
I can't believe this. What are the odds? If my poor kitty has been suffering like me all these years, I feel so bad for her. Of course, in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder if she gave the disease to me, or if I gave it to her. haha.
