Did the vet do bloodwork? Feel for more furballs/bockage?

It could very well be the meds causing this. Pred is not something that should be given lightly and vets are all too quick to prescribe it. It suppresses the immune system, which is never, never good.

Fibre doesn't necessarily help with bulking up a cat. In fact, it can cause irritation in the colon making things worse.

If Felidae is not working, then try Nature's Variety, Instinct canned, Lamb, Venison, Rabbit, or Duck. That will give your kitty a different protein source. No potatoes, no grains or wheat.
