My cat has had diarrhea for a year. They told us they thought it was IBD, but now she is vomiting and losing weight. Is this IBD or something else?

There are two different things that can cause these symptoms. It can be IBD or Lymphoma. I would talk to your veterinarian about putting Kasey on prednisone to help with her symptoms. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
