The Tails of Truth Podcast:

Your Cat's Vomiting Isn't Normal: Let's Chat About IBD

In this episode of Tails of Truth, Dr. Angie and JoJo chat about a common concern—vomiting in cats. They debunk the myth that it’s “normal,” and explain how it often points to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). They walk listeners througha holistic approach to diagnostics, including how to tell IBD from lymphoma, when to consider steroids, and how diet and personalized care can make a big difference. They also get real about poop (yes, photos are welcome) and why documenting symptoms is a game-changer at the vet’s office.
