Hi! So sorry to hear about Kita's tummy troubles. The symptoms you describe are exactly like my Maddie's. She has inflammatory bowel disease. When she has a really bad episode, she throws up a lot, besides the mucous poop which many times leads to diarrhea.

At first, my vet put Maddie on Hills Prescription Diet I/D food and she did pretty well on that for a few months. Then she got really sick again and the vet changed her to Hills Prescription Diet W/D. She's been doing pretty good on that, but still has her ups and downs. I buy that food at my vet's office. She is also on Metronidazle for the rest of her life. I have it down to giving her one every three days now and only up the meds if she has problems.

One thing I've noticed is if Maddie has had a beef treat, it affects her tummy. Therefore I only give her treats that are made with chicken. She also does fine on milkbones.

Good luck with finding a solution for Kita's problems. I hope I was of some help here!
