Hi mischa91, welcome to the board (sorry it isn't under better circumstances).

First important question is: what do your cats eat? Gastrointestinal issues are most often related to diet, so sometimes just finding an appropriate food is all that's needed. Because vets are rarely a good source of nutritional info, they don't pursue this area sufficiently beyond just throwing a bunch of lousy (and expensive) prescription diets at the problem.

Next question is: what medications, if any, have been tried?

And also, has any blood work been done, specifically an fPLI test for pancreatitis? What about an ultrasound?
