Hi there! Sounds like Star Trek has some pretty concerning problems going on. I assume from the question that he has been diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. Royal Canin gastrointestinal diet is a good guality, bland, and easily digestible diet that he may benefit from long term. Many patients with gastrointestinal problems benefit from eating these bland diets life long. I would encourage you to visit with his veterinarian for a discussion about long term management. Often, follow up examinations and further testing (like fecal exams for parasites, endoscopy, or even biopsies) are needed to develop the best long term plan. I hope he continues to improve.
