I posted last month to this group about my IC cat being taken off dry
food and developing diarrhea.  I have since tried several types of
fiber supplements and several types of pet-store canned food, but she
is still having diarrhea.  I tried the Science Diet canned hairball,
which seemed to work for her, but she hates it and won't eat it.  I
have started giving her dry food (Iams Hairball) again and the
diarrhea has improved somewhat, but she is starting to display some of
the IC signs again.  I just can't seem to find a good balance--if I
give her too much dry, she seems fine in the poop department but not
good in with IC.  Half and half doesn't seem to be working
either--then neither condition is doing well.  I would like to try
some of the other hairball canned foods out there, but none of the
stores in my area carry them.  I am also thinking of trying some other
type of hairball or high fiber-type dry food--is there any kind which
might be less troubling than others for IC?  Would any of the vet-type
foods be good for these two conditions?

I have been putting Cosequin in her canned food for about 2 weeks.  I
have been splitting it into about 1 capsule 4 times a day.  I know it
has been recommended to only feed twice a day, but she doesn't eat it
all if I put down large amounts and it ends up getting wasted.  Should
I distribute the Cosequin differently?

Thanks for your knowledgeable advice,
