Thanks for the Kaopectate information. I'll pass that on. Pumpkin and apple pectin work for diarrhea control too. On Feb 25, 2008, at 8:51 AM, Gloria Lane wrote: What a loving thing you've done! I do like interferon alpha, but find different vets sell it for different prices. I've found

I'll have to try the Apple pectin, if I can find it. I'm hoping I can continue to get the kaopectate (old formula). It's easy to syringe. I make a bunch of syringes, leave them out, and grab a couple when I'm rushing off to work, you know. If I can get and try Apple pectin, that might be

Hi El, Thank you for taking in those severely neglected cats. I cannot believe (though that's a figure of speech) that the FeLV+ girl was in such horrible shape, coming from a shelter. You have given all of them a new lease on life. I'm always grateful that there are people like you out

Dear Deana: You don't have to give up on those babies at all! Some vets--and some people--are much more likely to PTS little babies like that but it certainly isn't necessary at all. I raised three little newborns (The Three Orange Boyz) and they are now 10 months old. I kept them all
