@@ttelluss Yay! Can’t wait for you to get it!! ✨
My cat had IBD, exact same symptoms as Beemo (vomiting and diarrhoea). That being said, IBD and Lymphoma present the exact same symptoms in cats. If Beemo is not responding to any changes in diet, then there is a chance it could be Lymphoma. Definitely worth doing a biopsy to rule it out. My cat did respond to diet changes (thus we safely ruled out Lymphoma), but it took some trial and error to find one that didn't trigger her. With IBD, cats will react to specific animal proteins, e.g. my cat had symptoms while eating lamb, but stopped when we switched her to turkey. Whatever food you try out with Beemo, it needs to be a single source of protein, so no mixing of different meats, otherwise you won't ever be able to figure out what's triggering him. Usually best to try out a protein that he has never been exposed to before. Also, please try consider feeding him a wet food diet. Unfortunately feeding cats dry food is like feeding them McDonalds, they're all highly processed foods (even the prescription ones) and lack the moisture content cats need. The two cat food brands that removed all symptoms from my cat were KatKin and Lily's Kitchen. Hope this helps him! 🙏
thank you for writing such a detailed response... this is good for kyuho and sarah and anyone else going through the same!!
glad you added about the dry food as well as this very helpful info !
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. Wet food with high meat content and single source of protein, no dry food if possible, and no grain.
That being said, my cat HATED wet food with passion. I never stopped trying, though, and kept buying mountains of the most premium wet food till the end. (He wouldn't touch most of them...)
Luckily, I found grain-free dry food from a German brand with very high meat content. If your cat is like mine, try at least to feed them with high-quality dry food, otherwise wet food should always be preferred.
Could it also be a new food allergy or allergies?
I'm just wondering, isn't it healthier to just cook them actual meat or organ meat?
If Beemo’s food contains corn it may be one of the causes for his stomach distress. I actually watched one of my cats have an immediate allergic reaction, complete with diarrhea and hives, right after I fed them a well-known brand canned food. An emergency trip to our vet and eliminating all corn from their diet stopped the scary reactions.
My kitty had ibd for her whole life as well as asthma. She was on prednisolone for years and that helped her ibd immensely.
My kitty had lymphoma but he was on prednisolone for 3 years or so at the end of his life and it helped him a lot with keeping up appetite and keeping down his food, so I second this idea! :)
😂 when you said all the hard work goes to Beemo and I’m like “this will be future me. Working hard for my cat(s) so they have the best care”
Glad to see you guys made a safe flight back home. I noticed Beemo's weight loss in this video, what helped my cats was watching Jess and Jericho on UA-cam. I changed their diet and mainly healthier wet food. She could possibly help. I've learned a lot from her and my cats gained a healthy weight with more energy than before. Hope you guys find answers soon!
My kitty is similar in age and size to Beemo and she recently got diagnosed with IBD. She takes a steroid pill every other day to help with inflammation and eats royal canin gastrointestinal designed food. Since she started that treatment shes only thrown up like twice and has had much better time using the litter box. Hoping for the best for Beemo! ❤️
Hey guys - glad you made it back safely! For Beemo, it reminds me a lot of something we went through with one of our kitties in 2020; she didn’t have much diarrhea, but she did have constant nausea and vomiting for weeks/months. We also went down several paths and they ruled out so many things to get to an eventual diagnosis (of exclusion) of IBD. After trying a lot of food options and probiotics, what eventually worked for her was a months-long course of steroids (I believe it was prednisone), with a slow taper, and Royal Canin hydrolyzed protein dry food. These foods are a little calorie dense so she’s a tiny bit on the chunky side, tho not unhealthily so. I hope he feels better soon and you can find a mix that works! I know it’s stressful. ❤
Quick edit - I saw another comment mentioning smaller/frequent portions! I’m not sure of his schedule, but this was helpful to both of our cats. They used to eat twice a day, but the gap irritated their stomachs a bit (reflux/gastritis, just like little humans lol) so 3 meals a day does well for them!
Royal canin sensible is the only food one of our cats can eat without ibd symptoms. Every single vet prescribed food caused issues. We spent so much money trying to find the one food that was ok. Good luck to you guys I feel for you.
We just put him on this (heard about it in a cat IBD group) a few days ago and while he still gets a bit bloaty, his bad diarrhea has so far stopped 🤞
Our cat was having really difficult tummy symptoms for quite some time. We put her on grain free cat food and saw an immediate change that has lasted for several years.
Have you guys checked for Addison’s Disease? My dog was just tested and confirmed to have it and my dog had similar symptoms to Beemo. It’s a non invasive test. They can do an ultrasound first to see how the adrenal gland looks.
In the meantime, consider giving Beemo IV fluids since he is losing precious water with diarrhea. It's a bit of learning if you're squeemish about inserting the needle.
I concur the sentiment others have made about dry food; prescription food is no different as it has very inflammatory ingredients like corn, wheat and soy which aren't designed for cats (obligate carnivores). They must always have moisture in every meal since the dry food puts them at a constant state of dehydration. Cats become very kibble addicted which will make it hard to transition to a fresh, moisture rich, species appropriate diet.
Kibble is processed using high heat extrusion. This is carcinogenic.
Jackson Galaxy & Dr. Karen Becker have been my sources for all things 🐈 cat.
Just saying this out of LOVE for Beemo and you guys. ❤️
I had a similar problem with my cat and I switched her to just natural food, so it was boiled chicken with no salt, I would also make her meet balls with a little bit of rice and veggies with no salt and she got better, she definitely loved the food. I hope you find something that works for him ❤. On a side note, so happy the wish trend box is back!!
Cat meat balls, Omg 🥺 we’d love to try that.
My sunday night routine! ❤ welcome back to korea🎉
Vet here. I’m really sorry about Beemo’s bowel problem. IBD is a really frustrating disease. I like to think of it as something like Irritable Bowel Syndrome that us, humans, have. So with my patients I usually enchance the ambient too, trying to lower down their anxiety and bring up their playful side. With this in mind, have you guys tried Feliway Difusor? It might help. Other strategies would be having more play time with him, putting more dens and plataforms in the apartament,etc. For some cats helps.
Thanks so much for the tips! It’s been so frustrating trying so many things and seeing no results for the past year and a half 😞 Beemo has never been a big ‘play guy’. We’ve bought so many different types of toys and try to get him interested, but he has zero interest in playing-starting when he was about 3 years old (he’s 8 now). We’ve got this great bookshelf cat tower for him with lots of levels and private cubbies, but he barely uses it 😅 He really doesn’t seem to crave high places. We’ve never thought of a Feliway Difusor though! We’ll have to give that a go!
Love the new hair cut, and hope kitty gets better soon......
I commented this 6 months ago for some help for Beemo!
Our cat Woody, had similar symptoms (daily explosive (!!!) diarrhea, lots of vomiting, weight loss) and he looked just as emaciated as Beemo is at the moment.
Administered medication, trying out all a sorts of different organic cat food brands (dry and wet food) regular vet visits - nothing helped and we were getting more and more worried about him.
👉🏻 Only a switch to a 100% raw diet with mainly chicken offal instead of muscle meat helped him. We took the transition step by step (I’ve been a vegetarian for many years - so handling the raw meat was not easy for me). It slowly got better and after about 3 months we had the diarrhea and vomiting under control - so we needed to be patient. Now half a year later he's doing better than ever and he is literally thriving.
I really wouldn't believe that a diet change would have such a big impact if I hadn't experienced it myself with our boy Woody. Raw food is also no more expensive than the food from the vet - give it a try, it's definitely worth it. Cats are wild animals after all.
I am convinced that we all unintentionally feed our cats sick with all the processed food. I know this sounds a little bit „woowoo“ and I do not want to preach here - just talking from our experience with Woody‘s transition.
Get well soon, Beemo! And thanks for another great video 👍🏻♥️
This actually makes sense because cats are obligate carnivores, they literally are not evolved to digest grains and veggie material, or even dairy, which is the filler found in most commercial cat foods
This is super helpful-thank you! We tried giving him boiled chicken before, but didn’t see much improvement (he puked), but maybe it was a fluke.
@@2hearts1seoul hi Sarah, cats in their natural environment would NEVER be able to find cooked meat, therefore the anatomy of their stomachs wouldn’t allow for processing cooked anything. The most natural food, literally, DESIGNED BY NATURE, is mice. Since that can’t be on offer, bird is second choice (not lamb or beef or fish - those aren’t available for cats in nature). Raw turkey or chicken - I’ve been feeding minced poultry to my cat for the past few months, I can’t describe the changes in her well-being, it’s incredible how she has healed, so I swear by it. Bear in mind that it takes a few good months for the animal’s stomach to heal. Hope Beemo will feel better.
@@SofiaStavrinou I also think that patience is key here! It takes a few months for their stomachs/ systems to adjust.
@@butterflymuse2707 True!!!
Well! Im very sorry to hesr about Beemo. Ive heard of success with low salt bone broth.
THANK YOU for doing the Wishtrend Box!!!! This will be my first time ordering ittttt😆 Wipeeee! 😂. I cant wait to start using it!!!
While you two were away, Seoul had Terrrrrrible flooding! How did it affect your neighborhood and the outdoor cats you care for?
Glad to see you back home with precious Beemo. Im sure he’ll settle soon. Have a happy and safe week!
my cat kept throwing up her food here and there and caused her to lose a lot of weight so i started feeding her every hour will a little bit at a time to help her maintain the weight and eventually gain. It helped, but every animal is different.
Aw. I know it’s hard to leave but I’m glad that you’ll get to see everyone again so soon. It’s great that you can afford it too. That’s such a long flight and I know it must be expensive. Yay! You were able to sleep in this flight Sara. I’m happy that you guys had safe travels to and from your different destinations. It’s such a blessing that your friend can care for Beemo while you guys are away for so long. I’m sorry Beemo isn’t feeling well. I hope that the issue of his diarrhea gets resolved soon. I grew up with seasoned breadcrumbs and used to cook with them often. The meal looks healthy and delicious, as always, Kyuho.
I enjoy watching air flight videos!! I always watch them!!😁 We enjoyed watching your Canads vlogs!
How many weeks were you two in Canada this time?
Just ordered your Korean skincare box from Wishtrend 😊 so excited! ❤
So maybe this isn't helpful but just in case: one of our cats initially had diarrhea issues. That went away but he would still fart a lot. Then he got diabetes. We started homemaking his food (and also giving him other specific wet food which I don't think is available in Korea). No more farting. We do plan to post our homemade recipe for him maybe soon. Good luck to you guys and Beemo in your continued journey in improving his health. We know how big a thing it can be!
You might ask your Vet about adding small amounts kaolin clay to his diet. We did this several years ago for one of our cats who was having the same kind of symptoms as Beemo and it worked... just a thought.
My male cat lost a lot of weight, too. He has been seeing a vet internist for the last few years. She hasn’t been able to diagnose him, but recommended monthly b12 shots, prescription food ( Royal Canin PV, PD or PR , the wet food ones) and insulin shots. He also has to take Budosodine once a day( cat version of prednisone). The different vets we saw in the past recommended wet food for male cats, and the internist validated it. I noticed that he doesn’t puke as much when the food doesn’t have too much fatty residue in them. These are what our vet recommended, but every cat has a different situation, so please check with Beemo’s vets first. Hoping Beemo’s vet(s) will have answers, or provide guidance. 🐾
Beemo’s been on several types of Royal Canin food (the gasto ones included), but we want to ask about monthly b12 injections and budosodine as well~ thanks so much for your input ❤️
Glad you got back safely! When I saw Beemo I thought he is looking a bit thin. I hope u can figure out what's wrong and fatten him up a bit more. Love ur videos! Thanks for your awesome content.
Thank you! ❤️ Really hope we can figure it out too-he definitely needs some fattening up!
poor baby missed his parents so much🥺 I hope that he gets his tummy issues figured out, I hate he has to go through that, sending healing vibes to mister beemo.
Also yes I grew up eating crusted chicken, except we got the lazy amercian version called shake and bake. Put it in a bag, shake, and bake 😹
Honestly, from the photos and videos Moon sent us, it looked like Beemo was enjoying his company so much he wasn’t even thinking of us 😅 really hope we can figure out and manage his tummy issues 😣
Omg, Shake & Bake was also a staple in our house! 🍗
My family and I live with cats from the time I was a baby. So we have cats all these years. Most of the cats have passed on due to some kind of illness mostly kidney and gastro. The only cat I remembered, a Siamese female called Tina, lived with us from kitten to the ripe old age of 21 (human years). I remember my late parents used to feed her fresh bengal fish boiled. That’s her daily staple and she loved it. Tina ate the fish and drank the juice. She has no illness throughout her life. She died of old age and it’s so planned that she left us when my sister, Liza was away overseas after her graduation. Liza grew up with Tina and always accompanied Liza when she studied and burnt the midnight oil. 😪.
Not sure I can do that as I’m working whereas mum stayed home all the time. Dad always go to the market to buy fresh bengal fish.
That bread crumb is good, and even better when you mix it with panko
Glad you guys made it home and are hopefully going to make it back by christmas!
I don't really have much experience with the cat food issue / gastrointestinal issues but I have heard from other people that the"raw"diet has worked for them. Either making fresh meat and vegetable foods from scratch or buying the pre-made ones that usually come refrigerated or Frozen. I hope Beemo feels better soon.
I think I'm going to try your skincare box. Well, I think I'll get one for me and my mom. Lol! It'll be our first foray into Korean skin care even though we're Korean. Lol! I've lived in America all my life and my mom probably longer in America than in her actual time in Korea growing up. Lol!
Welcome back! Takes a little time to readjust. I'm glad you guys had a chance to have an extended stay with your family in Canada after such a long time.
Thank you! Yeah, both places are so incredibly different-it takes a while to adjust, that’s for sure ✈️
wow that’s a great dealllll! love skincare 🥰
Such a great discount ✨😁
I have a dog diagnosed with IBD.. his symptoms are extreme bloating burping and farting. So lotsss of gas especially after he eats. Just like you guys we did allllllll the tests bloodwork ultrasound X-ray endoscopy etc… we were on an HA diet to eliminate animal protein, tried motility pills, psyllium powder, now on visbiome probiotic, and now we are just trying a new food that is salmon based. $6000+ dollars in and we’re still trying to figure it out. It’s very frustrating, but I hope we both will find a solution for our fury family members 😌
Hi guys, our cat had IBD. We tried every possible cat diet but it didn’t work. Then we started to feed her with raw meet 3 times a day (raw meat has natural enzymes), mostly chicken breast or rabbit with some supplements as spirulina or a drop of fish oil. You should try what type of protein is suitable for your cat. This helped a lot, she gain weight and spend with us few more years in relatively good health. I think that grain and corn in processed cat food causes this disease. Do not recommend to treat iBD with steroids, it may cause paralysis.
Hello is there any way u can list the ingredients for yr mom’s chicken soup? It looks sooo delicious that i wld like to make it! It was in the winter clog 8 mos ago! I really enjoy your videos, they’re so very wholesome, interesting and informative! Just ordered the special skin care box! I can’t wait to get it! Thank you!!
The Ranma 1/2 shirt is soooo cute :)
Thank you! ✨
hello! glad you had a safe flight and that you're planning to go back soon. I bet it's easier to digest goodbyes when the next hello feels less distant in time.
I don't know how cats work as we always had dogs, but our lab had similar symptoms of diarrhoea since he was a puppy and turned out to be allergic to meat protein. thankfully we were able to get the diagnosis very early in his life and switch him up to a salmon-based prescription food (these things are hella expensive). he was not allowed to eat anything else other than that. later on he developed lymphoma, which seems to be associated with these kind of digestive issues, so he was on prednisone for years. I don't know if any of this was helpful to you or anyone else reading, but thought it might make sense to someone out there. hope you figure out what's beeemo's situation and the proper treatment/symptom management for him.
hope your jetlag is better now and that you were able to go out and explore seoul with kyuho's new glasses. I'm sure it's a whole new city for him 😊
PS: in my country breaded chicken cutlets are called "milanesas". these are a staple here. what my mom does is put minced garlic and parsley in the egg wash and leave the cutlets "marinate" in that for a while in the fridge. usually double breaded are yummiest (egg wash, bread crumbs, egg wash again, and bread crumbs). for extra sinful milanesas, google "milanesa napolitana" and "milanesa napolitana a caballo" to find out why heart disease kills so many in my country hahaha
Yes! I’m from Ontario and I grew up on breaded chicken with Italian seasoned bread crumbs. Sooooo good.
For beemo's IBD 🌟
My dog when he got really old had a very sensitive stomach, the doctors again weren't much help because they said " just accept it he's old "...
I tried researching about as many herbs and natural foods that can be easy on its stomach.
Whenever they have a reactive phase where stomach acids are imbalanced, try not feed animal protein, instead something light like banana and curd, this helps to bind the stomach.
Cooking food from scratch, where you have picked the ratios and quality is the best way to go in my opinion. Praying for his recovery 💗🌷
Diatomaceous earth in your kitties food will help with IBD and is a very healthy resource for other issues. Check with your vet.
As a life long cat owner and having a vet in the family i actually would say that beemo might just be very lonely. Cats are not supposed to be held as singles, in my country you can't even adopt single cats because they suffer mentally. i think his issues are from not having a cat around him, it really messes them up. Look into that guys
Re: Beemo's gut issues, I know people who have had great luck with giving animals probiotic supplements to make sure their gut flora is good. Maybe you've tried that. Hope he feels better soon.
Yup! We’ve been doing that for the past 1 year plus. Hasn’t made the biggest difference tbh, but maybe we’ll try a different kind~
Glad to see you guys are back in Korea and doing well!
For Beemo, is there any radiologic imaging they can do? My elderly cat (he passed last year, sadly, at the ripe old age of 17) had some kind of intestinal lymphoma and for him, the first indicator was that his kidney values were high, but he also had a lot of inflammation in his intestines that we found through sonograms, which was what led us to that diagnosis (like Beemo, he had lost a lot of weight, and he also didn't have a lot of appetite). I wonder if they could do x-rays and sonograms for Beemo and if that would tell you anything? Or even like allergy testing to see if there's some kind of protein or compound that's common in the food as an additive or bulking agent that he has an allergy to?
I unfortunately don't have a cat with IBD, but I'm a human with IBS and the best thing for me was doing an elimination diet to find my "trigger" foods? I'm not sure how or even if that is possible for a cat, though. I wonder if you could feed him just like..... Regular ass chicken for a while and slowly introduce stuff back to him to see if there's something that triggers it, or keep a record of the food he's trying and see if there's a common ingredient between the ones that set his tummy off. 🤷♀️
It's always tough with pets because they can't just TELL US what's wrong, you know? It can be so frustrating and heartbreaking. I feel for you guys. Hopefully you figure it out soon! ♥️
Edit: I don't know if it's possible for cats to have celiac disease, but one thing to keep in mind in terms of dietary needs is that cats are obligate carnivores, meaning in the wild they eat only meat and they typically derive their nutrient needs from killing and eating prey such as birds, mice, voles, etc. Most commercial and even veterinary foods will have vegetables and grain matter in them that cats aren't really evolved to digest. It may be worth trying Beemo on a raw diet to see how he does without fillers that we typically see in other cat foods. It's expensive but so is special vet food, so.
So sorry about your kitty 😢
Beemo has had several X-rays and sonograms in the past year and a half. The only thing it shows is his large intestine is inflamed. His kidney, pancreas, liver levels etc. are all normal-AND his appetite is just as big as ever. He was also tested for allergies and nothing showed up there either.
We’re currently trying to find and eliminate trigger foods, but it’s pretty stressful. Poor dude 🥺
@@2hearts1seoul Aw man, that's so stressful and frustrating! Poor Beemo (and poor you guys)!
There have been a lot of really great comments here, I hope that you're able to find something that works for him soon! 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Sarah's mom sort of looked like a Tudor queen when she had the neck fan on top of her head lol It's so nice to see Beemo again! I'm sorry to hear that he's not doing well. I hope that he gets better soon.
Hi Sarah and Kyuho! Have you tried looking into Holistic treatments for Beemo? I'm assuming that Eastern Medicine practices are more encouraged in Korea, but from what it looks like in your videos, the vets you have been seeing are using a lot of Western medicine techniques? (
I just did 13 hours long flight for the first time in 4 years and OMG it was so painful than I remembered. I can’t imagine doing this twice a year. Maybe you can make a video about how u guys spend the time during the flight.
It is brutallll 😩 Honestly takes us a good week plus to fully get over jet lag.
That’s an idea!
I'm sorry about Beemo. I have a dog who has severe allergies- environmental and dietary. She is allergic to any carb source, and no matter how "grain free" a dog food may be, it still uses some sort of starch as a key ingredient. As a result she has bad skin, gets frequent ear infections, has GI issues, anal gland issues etc. etc. etc. I can understand how frustrating it is to never seem to get the problem under control, or right once you do, something else pops back up. And the amount of money, it's a gut punch every time! The things we do for our pets! I am just thankful I found her because I know most people wouldn't pay as much attention to her, and more likely would have surrendered her. Thank god Beemo came into your lives as well. While it often seems like a constant battle, I hope there is still an option out there that can better control his symptoms.
I am not a vet, so obviously I don't know treatment courses, but with my dog, I did consider long term steroids at one point. I know that is the last option and vets might not even be open to it because they'll cause other issues, but if it improves his quality of life, it might be something to think about.
I have my dog on an immunomodulator which helps keep her allergies from being in a constant state of flare up. Every vet tries to push 6 month blood work on her because unfortunately there can be significant side effects. However, we always refuse the blood work because this is the only medication that gives her a quality of life. If it causes her cancer, or she only lives to 6 years vs 12+ because of it, so be it. With out this medication she would eventually stop eating (she did that before this medication) and likely die from malnutrition, and she'd be miserable in the process. So there's no point in blood work because nothing it shows is going to change her treatment plan.
Sorry, that was long winded, but the point is, sometimes the benefits outweigh the risks. If long-term steroids would help him, it might be worth it instead of constantly having flare-ups, and the frustrations and feelings of hopelessness that comes with them. Again, long-term steroids can cause other issues, so the vet would have to weigh the pros and cons, but it's something to think about.
Lastly, and this maybe dramatic, but I just want to add that you guys are Beemo's ( as well as your own ) advocate. I don't know how vets are in Korea, but if they seem reluctant to try steroids and only offer options to treat flare-ups instead of options to try and manage symptoms/prevent constant flare-ups, then unfortunately it is going to fall on you guys to stand up for Beemo/yourselves. Again, quality-of-life comes into play here at a certain point, for both Beemo and yourselves. If nothing works and you are constantly having to take him to the vet and spend thousands of dollars because of it, that is not a viable option either. I would hope vets would be understanding to this, but you never know, and I just wanted to put that out there as someone who has to advocate for my dog constantly as well.
I love Korea for still taking the pandemic seriously. I wish my country was like that. People are still succumbing to the pandemic in great numbers EVERY SINGLE DAY here in Europe. Thousands of people a day and DURING SUMMER. AND YET everyone including politicians behave as if everything is in the past. It makes me sad.
I agree. Everyone wants to "go back to normal" or live like they did in 2019. Many here are in denial about global warming, too, so while I am sad I am not surprised that people and politicians think the pandemic is over...
Poor Beemo! 😞 He’s such a sweet boy, I feel so bad that he’s sick. We have a cat, and have had a very hard time finding her a suitable food for her needs too, it seems even some of the prescription foods are bags of junk food.
I hope he feels well soon! ❤️🩹
Glad you guys made it back safely! I think the bread crumb equivalent in our house would be Panko :DD
Look into a raw diet for Beemo. I had a cat with similar problems. The vet kept changing his food alone with meds. I eventually put him on a raw meat diet. A chicken meal would be just poultry, heart, gizzards or any part you can get. For beef it was the same. The natural diet for a cat is anything they can catch. To many fillers in the processed cat food today so the only way to see if its an allergy is to eliminate and try one protein at a time. My cat did well on this change and lived to a ripe old age. Good luck with your beautiful Beemo.
We have a similar Italian breadcrumbs from Progresso in the States, I’ve grown up with. Love using it to bread chicken, fish etc. lately I love using panko style bread crumbs for extra crunch.
It's not a cat but my dog had diarrhea problems and vomiting when eating prescription food, west food, any brand caused him stomach problems but we got Royal canin for him and the diarrhea stopped.
Beemo has tried a few types of Royal Canin so far. The gastrointestinal one was ok, but he could only tolerate the ‘low Callie’ version, which didn’t help with his weight. We’ve since switched to Royal Canin Sensible (?), and so far his poop has gotten better.
I had a dog with ibs and he would have diarrhea no matter what dog food I fed him, then I started feeding him raw and he was completely fine! Not sure if that would translate to a cat but the processed foods definitely didn’t work for my dog. If not raw, have you tried making home cooked meals without a lot of supplements? I found supplements/ vitamins also gave my dog diarrhea. We make our dog’s food based on the book “Dr. Becker’s Real Food for Healthy Dogs and Cats.”
So glad your dog is doing so well 🥹 We’ve gotten so many suggestions in the comment section about the raw diet! We did try him on boiled chicken, but didn’t have much luck 😩 Thanks for that book recommendation-we’ll have to check that out!
Hi Sarah and Kyuho...glad you are safely back in Korea, and I hope you are gradually getting over jet lag and feeling more settled again. I did petsitting for over thirty years, along with having cats of my own. Two of the cats I babysat had difficult digestive issues. One had the cat version of celiac disease, which was hard to diagnose. However, once the vet realized it and they changed the cat's diet to all gluten-free foods (including cat treats), it had no more digestive problems. It was like night and day! The other cat may have had IBD or something similar, and it was more difficult to diagnose despite various tests. For that cat, they used prednisone periodically when the symptoms flared up, and also gluten-free foods seemed to help him. Sometimes we we added a small spoonful of pureed pumpkin to his cat food. He liked it, and it helped his digestion. I hope Beemo starts feeling better soon - sending many good wishes from California!
Sometimes veterinarians don't know much about nutrition try giving wet food in canned not dry food because dry food brings many diseases have metals perhaps giving you homemade or healthier food makes an improvement hope him the best ❤️😽
We tried giving him only wet/canned food for a period of time as well, but it made no difference in his symptoms. We tried boiled chicken as well, but he didn’t do well on that either :/
Not wearing his color glasses back to Seoul? Thought you had to wear them for a couple of weeks straight to get used to them.
Next time, don't use the shutter sound when petting Beemo. Thought you broke him. :D
He’s wearing them, just not every single place, since it’s still pretty overwhelming and emotional! He’s getting used to them though and wearing them more and more :)
Im glad that you have fun enjoying your holidays & safely arrived. I also have an experience taking bus 17+ hours (usually took 12hours) because the bus broke down. My back hurts a bit & my bottoms felt really numb 😂
Hope beemo get well soon. Also take care & stay safe because i heard that korea in typhoon monsoon season. 💕💕
Welcome back!! Missing Canada 🇨🇦 already 🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕
Thank youuu! 🇨🇦🇰🇷
From Hong Kong ……❤
How about trying to feed Beemo boiled meat/organ meat? It might help as its much more simple, has water, and more natural..
We tried that with chicken, but he barfed twice that day :(
Try baby food for Beemo for his diarrhea turkey or chicken. Hope he feels better soon. I am glad you made it back to Seoul safely. Rest and Be Well.
Is Beemo's food completely grain free/ vegetable free? With cats being obligate carnivores, the fillers in many cat foods can cause problems in the long term. You might want to consider trying a fresh meat diet (including offal for particular vitamins) which they would naturally eat, and see if that helps.
My baby had IBD and was probably the world's pickiest eater... so I feel ya. It took me almost 11 years to find the type of food he liked AND didn't irritate his bowels.
It's not recommended but I started giving him food from different brands containing only ONE type of meat within a given time period, usually 2-3 days. With just a single common factor (meat type) to focus on, it was so much easier to identify the offenders. For us, it was grain and beef. Afterwards, both his diarrhea and belly cramps finally stopped, however, he would suffer from severe constipation from time to time. I miss my little man so so much. 💔
Oh, and stress reduction is almost just as important as diet in IBD management. Beemo might have been stressed out because he missed you, and then got confused when you unexpectedly returned out of nowhere.
Get well soon, Beemo. ♥️🌸
So sorry your little dude went through so many tummy issues 😞 I wish they could talk and tell us what exactly is going on.
We switched his food when we got back and his symptoms got worse, so it was likely the food change. He’s eating another food now that seems to be improving his poop~
@@2hearts1seoul Yeah, my beloved fluff bean had several health issuess, some of them proved to be fatal in the end (not the bowel issues, though)...
It can be a massively frustrating task sometimes to find out why the babies are sick. 🥺
Animals in pain or distress are my emotional Achilles' heel, so I'm super glad to hear that Beemo is feeling better. 🥰 Hope your baby can regain his normal weight soon.
I cannot wait for your Christmas in Canada !!! I'm so happy for you guys !!!
I miss seeing the white cat already :)
Have you tried a probiotic powder on his food ? There is one specifically for cats Purina Fortiflora
We’ve been putting probiotics in his food for over a year now~
Glad you will be able to visit Canada more often. Let’s hope and pray the pandemic continuously subsides so we can travel more freely and all be well. I hope Beemo gets better-it’s so stressful when our furry babies are sick. 🥰😎🐱
My cat has never had IBD, but I have way to may years of experience with illnesses with both dogs and cats. I've learned that cats are inefficient drinkers. Getting a water fountain bowl will help make sure your baby is getting enough water and wet food is also a good way for them to get in water. You might be able to look into making his food at home if the prescription medication doesn't work. Giving you all the best wishes for the best outcome for Beemo. :)
Ohh, Beemo drinks a lot! :) It’s one of his flexes 😂 We got him a water fountain but he totally stopped using it. We find he drinks way more water when we leave 3 bowls around the house.
Hahaha I think I see a speck of myself at 3:32! Big yes to the bread crumbs, my mom uses those exact ones for chicken and fish and they really do add something special :)
I feed my cat Rabbit based food with no wheat and chicken. My cat as it turns out was allergic to many grains and chicken.
We tried him on duck based food, but no dice. Rabbit is one we haven’t tried!
Someone might already have mentioned this, or you might have already thought about/talked with your vet about it. But have you thought about changing to raw food diet for Beemo? I know it works wonders for many cats with problems. I hope you guys will figure out Beemos problem and find some solution that will work for him ❤
Raw diet? I tried to switch my cat’s diet to raw but she was too used to her tasty wet/kibbles food , therefore a fail… I hope Beemo’s gut issues will be resolved . I know how frustrating it can get when your fur baby is not a 100%. Faiting!!
Also if you have some plants at home some are toxic so is better not have some kind of plants near cats
We have all fake plants for that very reason-plus we always kill our plants, so 😅
Never clicked so fast! Canada seemed so short, but happy to see the korean cats and food again. I'm flying back to the US from australia soon and oh lawrdy not looking towards that flight. Hope u feel better Beemo :(
I went through the IBD thing with my soul kitty for years. He was a big tabby guy and weighed 23 lbs, so he had to go on a wet food diet to slim down some. He never had issues until after he got down to about 15 lbs. He had an insatiable appetite and eating like crazy, but was still losing weight. Then the IBD symptoms started. His vets did tests on him regularly and couldn’t find anything wrong with him. They did a food allergy test and he had some food allergies, so we adjusted his cat food and he did okay for a while, then started up again with the IBD. So we’d run more tests, try another food, and so on. He seemed healthy aside from his tummy issues. When he was 13.5, he suddenly showed symptoms of heart failure. I rushed him to the ER and they found he had an enlarged heart and cardiomyopathy. His regular vet ran some more tests and found his thyroid was completely out of whack…hyperthyroid. This was the first time the thyroid tests came back with an issue, and his vet said the heart issue was a result of the hyperthyroid. It was all very frustrating, upsetting, and stressful, and super expensive, but we did everything we could do. We were baffled as to why the previous tests over the years didn’t pick up any thyroid problems. It remains a mystery. Anyway, that was our experience with kitty IBD. It was rough. The worst part was knowing it can’t have been comfortable for my boy to have recurring scoots. I know people with IBD and it’s miserable for them. I can’t imagine how it feels for a little cat. Hopefully, Beemo’s is just a food allergy thing or something simple that you can manage with the right food and meds. There’s gotta be something that eventually works to calm his little gut. Poor dude. You guys are doing everything you can do for him, and observe him well. He’s got wonderful parents who take the best care of him. He’s lucky to have you. Get well soon, Beemo!
Not sure if this will help or if you have done it already but maybe feeding Beemo some plain boiled chicken (cut up in tiny pieces with no seasonings, etc) for a few days could improve his condition. Hope the little guy feels better soon!
Did that and he barfed a few hours later 😩
@@2hearts1seoul Oh no! Poor little guy with an upset belly, it's so frustrating as pet parents not knowing how to fix their problems!
Welcome back! Nice to see you again in Seoul. I enjoy watching your videos but I don't write that often. Unfortunately, my English is not that good. I'm so sorry to hear Beemo isn't doing well. It could also be FIP..my cat had FIP and struggled with the same issues and symptoms. Have you heard or read about it? I would ask the vet and I would do a test just in case.
FIP is a very serious disease. But if therapy starts early, FIP is curable. I hope it's not FIP but I wanted to tell you about it. I hope Beemo gets better soon and I can understand your concern for him. He is like a family member. I like you very much and wish you all the best. Warm greetings from Germany
Hi Sarah and Kyuho, I just recently received samples of some Klairs products and I'm so happy to see that some of them are your favorites! I'm just about to start trying them. But I'm wondering, do either of you have a favorite sunscreen? I have sensitive skin (like Kyuho) and I'm really struggling to find one I can tolerate. I live in the US and the chemical sunscreen filters in US sunscreens burn my skin and make my eyes water, but the US mineral sunscreens feel and look like thick paste on my face (even the tinted ones). I've been watching your videos for years and you both have such beautiful skin, and when you film outdoors your sunscreen (I assume you're wearing sunscreen) doesn't appear thick and obvious on your skin. I remember watching one of your videos from quite a while back where Kyuho was going to different stores and patch testing different sunscreens (I'm pretty sure they were sunscreens) and some of them made him break out in a hive or two where he applied them. That's how sensitive my skin is too.
Oohhh, we’ve only used Korean sun creams for yearsss, and we wear it every day. I (Sarah) find many of the western brands also make my face sting. My personal Korean sun cream favorites are:
1) Klairs: All-day Airy Sunscreen
2) Isntree: hyaluronic acid watery sun gel
3) Cosrx: Aloe soothing sun cream (for cooler months)
@@2hearts1seoul Thank you so much for your reply Sarah! I'm going to give each of those a try. Luckily it's becoming much easier to get Korean skincare here in the US. I can use western brands on my body, but my poor sensitive face seems to like Korean skincare better.
I know it sounds too simple, but chicken and rice porridge used to work for all my cats and kitties when they have digestive issues. I would also add probiotics such as Florastor in their food and also via syringes. However, none of the kitties I had had prolonged digestive issues. sometimes it was just "explosion" of runs by 8 kittens at the same time! (thank god, we had separate washroom just for the kittens!) I was a foster mom to 100+ fosters during 5-year period in US under a supervision of Humane society of America.
Yeyy happy to know you have plans to come back again to Canada for Christmas, few months will just be around the corner again like last year..😄 Welcome back to Korea & have a great week ahead with beemo! 🐱
my mom gave our cats raw egg on top of tuna. (not every day but like 3x week) Our cats were huge. Best wishes for Beemo's good health. 😺💕😺💕😺💕😺
🇺🇸 WoW! That was fast. When will family visit Seoul? Or Kevin? The demand is there. Lol
Not for a while-wayyy more expensive for them to come here, as they have to pay for accommodations. We, unlike my parents, don’t own a decent-sized home to house guests 🥲
@2hearts1seoul have you dried and foods from orijen or acana for Beemo? Maybe this will help him?
Ohhhh yes, we tried it even before he had IBD symptoms and he got diarrhea from them 😭 They such good brands, it’s too bad.
@@2hearts1seoul Awe dang since we saw it in your video at the vet just a thought! We hope you find some remedies in the future for the little guy! Best Wishes from Toronto! XOXO
Cats with IBS or IBD usually do better on natural probiotic and wet food. I hate prescription diets. Prescription diets here in the US are extremely overpriced bags full of crap.
I would recommend full wet food with strong probiotics. Something like a fermented goats milk or cow kefir for animals. You can make this at home (if you can't find it in store) by using raw goat or cow milk and mixing your favorite pet probiotic into it.
Wet food is always easier to digest so hopefully that helps. I also told people to read the ingredients on prescription foods. A lot of time, the ingredients are terrible.
I'm not a vet...But I have 2 cats, for the belly and mouth health I give each of them half a annuler nail (very very little) ORGANIC cold pressed/virgin coconut butter every second day....Dont think helps for Bemo's health but wanted to share it...Best regards:)
Try powder pumpkin. I rescued a kitten and had the same problem. All test showed that she is super healthy so after reading countless blogs I finally found that pumpkin is the solution. I sprinkle her food every time she eats and she will not eat without it. Good luck.
We gave him steamed, mashed pumpkin a couple of times and he seemed to like it, but we’ve never heard of powdered pumpkin-interesting!
@@2hearts1seoul I get mine from North Bay Trading - air dried pumpkin powder . All the issues went away within a day. My vet was testing her for different issues for 6 months and came up with no solution so if this is not health issue I would give a try.
I read somewhere that “ficus and snake” plants give cats diarrhea and vomiting, so maybe check again the plants you have in your home, they could probably be causing it. I’m assuming since you’ve been changing the food and medication, then it could probably be another reason. Good luck to you, hopefully beemo will be feeling better soon❤. And welcome back to Korea!!
they are fake plants
We have alll fake plants inside for that very reason!
Ah,great to be home and back with beemo.❤️
Also glad to hear you may get to canada again,for christmas time.
Welcome home! My 5 year old cat Ash has the same problems Beemo has. He got down to 7lbs :( now we have him at a steady 8-9lbs. The vet put him on different foods but the one that has worked has been Hills Prescription Diet Digestive Care I/D . We give him the wet food version and he really loves it. Unfortunately for Ash he no longer really gets any treats other than his teeth cleaning ones because everything triggers his issues. I didn’t have extensive procedures done on our Ash either, just wasn’t worth the trauma to him for no real solutions. Hope Beemo starts feeling better soon🥰
I had the same problem with my senior dog last Xmas. The vet of course gave her 4 different medicines that helped stop diarrhea but after a month it came back. So I went to a pet store and the associate told me to give her the brand Hills science diet for sensitive stomach and skin and mixed it with pure 100% pumpkin canned is better. Every meal I mixed 1tsp of the puree. Try it for 2 weeks even if he still has stomach issues don't change his food frequently. I hope this will help you guys🙏
Hey… was wondering when you were heading back to Korea. Have a friend, who is touring NS right now…and is loving it!
Have no answer for poor Beemo.
Glad you guys made it home safe! And now its time for my weekly tradition of marathon watching your videos 😁
Thank you! It was a looong journey this time around 😅✈️
Welcome back to your home in Korea! So glad you are reunited with Beemo and we're wishing nothing but the best for Beemo's health. Hope you are able to manage his diarrhea soon. Glad you are planning to return to Canada during Christmas. Something both you and your family can look forward to. By the way, has Kyuho tried wearing his special glasses in Korea? I'll bet when he puts them on there, it will be a new Korea he has yet to enjoy. I'm so glad you were able to spend so much time in Canada relaxing, visiting, and sharing. I have not seen my son, who lives in Japan, for 17 years now and I am hoping to visit him next year in October or so. As always whenever I travel to Japan, I have to spend time in Korea first. I miss Korea so very much! Prayers and positive thoughts sent your way for Beemo's well being. Also, thanks for the information and discount for the beauty box from Wishtrend. I just placed my order! Take care. Aloha, Darlene
So glad to see your journey home video. I hope you can find the right food for Beemo. One of my first 2 cats had IBS, which is not as bad as IBD but similar. His diarrhea was horrible. It's such a game of roulette... you have to keep trying different foods to find out what he will react to and what he won't. I wish back then I had known how to do a raw diet (I learned about it from a client who fed a raw diet to her cat, but that was after my sweet Sergio was gone). From my experience, the more natural the food, the better. Sergio seemed to react more to food that had additives in it. One thing I did find helpful was pro-biotics, but there are different "grades"... some are better than others just as with human pro-biotics. Please keep us updated on how he's doing.
I also bought your skincare box. I usually hesitate to do that because my skin has become very dry and very sensitive. When I was younger, I thought my oil production would never stop, but when I got into my late 50's, suddenly my skin became very dry. No matter what moisturizer I tried, my skin was still dry and flakey... and if I used something harsh, it would also become very red and irritated. I know you two have sensitive skin so I hope these products will help me too. I'm am the worst at skincare as I never developed a routine from an early age (my mother didn't have a skincare routine either). Thank you for always introducing great products.
I'm glad to see you guys made it back safely to Korea. I don't know when you actually left. But my friend is making the rounds in Halifax and Nova Scotia this week. I'm so sorry to hear about Beemo. I hope there are some answers soon to help him out. Sending hugs and prayers he'll get better. 💜
I'm sorry about Beemo, my dog was having bad diarrhea too, then the doctor changed his food to anti allergic formula, it's working, today we got the exames results, he has hypothyroidism. I hope you guys can get a diagnosis and treatment for Beemo.
Glad you made it back safely! And really glad to see that sarah isnt feeling that horrible post-canada blues like last time 👍🏻 hopefully beemo feels better soon cause he looks thinner oh no D:
Also i'm curious, does kyuho wear the enchroma glasses all the time now? Will there be any bonus footage of him wearing the glasses in korea? Would be cool to see him look at familiar things differently!
The Echo made me laugh so much! and i agree Klairs rich moist soothing cream is so good! i have the yellow one thats for all your body and hair, not sure if the one you have is exactly the same or not, and the vitamin E mask is one of my loves (Sarah you should try cosrx aha and bha serum)
