Before you use this page
FeliVitals is for tracking and organization. It does not diagnose, interpret an individual case, set treatment, or change medication, insulin, fluid, diet, or recheck plans. Use these notes with your veterinarian.
What IBD can look like
Inflammatory bowel disease involves chronic irritation and inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. It can look similar to food sensitivity, parasites, pancreatitis, lymphoma, thyroid disease, and other conditions, so diagnosis belongs with the veterinarian.
Caregivers can help by keeping a clear timeline of food, stool, vomiting, appetite, weight, and medication response.
Signs to record
- Vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, blood or mucus in stool, or changes in stool consistency.
- Poor appetite, increased appetite, food refusal, nausea signs, or weight loss.
- Lethargy, hiding, belly discomfort, or changes during a veterinary diet trial.
- Medication response, missed doses, possible side effects, and flare-up dates.
What matters to track with IBD
- Food type, meal amount, appetite, treats, diet changes, and food trials directed by your veterinarian.
- Vomiting, diarrhea, stool consistency, blood or mucus observations, and litter box timing.
- Weight, energy, hydration, and daily comfort notes.
- Medication timing and questions about response or side effects.
How FeliVitals helps
- Log feeding, appetite, weight, stool sessions, symptoms, medications, and daily notes.
- Keep diet changes and symptom changes in the same timeline.
- Prepare clearer notes for rechecks when symptoms come and go.
Questions to bring to your vet
- What should I track during a diet trial?
- Which stool, vomiting, or appetite changes need a call?
- How should I record medication response and possible side effects?
- What signs could suggest a different problem that needs rechecking?
