I use program suspension, and have used it for many years with excellent
results. They do not make it here in the US anymore, it comes from the UK,
and I get it from amazon. It is one of the least toxic flea treatments
available, and that's why I use it. It's a creamy substance that you mix

Please, try a raw diet for these kitties. I had one felv+ with severe
diarrhea...went through all the meds and tests...it is the only reason she
is alive today at 5 years old. Another cat (negative) had bloody diarrhea,
and went through all the meds as well...it was her cure as well. They
don't
I would suggest some probiotics...sounds like gut flora is off. Your vet
may carry it...it's called Probiocin...comes in a gel/paste form in a
syringe that cats like. Really helps with diarrhea. Also, a complete and
balanced raw food diet will do the trick also. Yogurt really doesn't have
that
Hello Maryam and Carrie,
I don't post much, but I feel I have to respond to your raw food comments.
Without question, I believe a complete and balanced raw food diet is the
most important thing you can give your cat. Some people just cannot be
convinced of it, unfortunately. I have a 5 yr old
KG, very well said...I wholeheartedly agree!

Have you tried a raw diet for them? It's worked for me on many kitties.
Diarrhea goes away almost instantly. I had one who had it severely also,
the raw diet is the only thing that cured her. I believe it saved her life.
Antibiotics can contribute to the diarrhea as you probably know. Feed them

Hi Lauraine, here's my advice to you...Keep your kitty as stress free as
possible. Give him the best food you can afford, nothing is more important
(except for love) than good nutrition. In my opinion, the best thing to
feed him is a raw diet. If the ingredients are available to you, you can

Vicky,
I can't tell you much about the FIP, but as for the FELV, I can tell you
the most important thing you can do for them is give them a good
species-appropriate diet. I recommend a homemade or commercial raw diet. My

I recently had 2 of my cats vax'd for felv...make sure the vax doesn't have
an adjuvant...they are known to possibly cause a sarcoma at the injection

Just to clarify, Merial's PUREVAX Recombinant Leukemia Vaccine and the VET

That is wonderful Kerry! I hope you shared the results with the lab people

I do have a positive(healthy), and I do worry about my other 4 who are

him another one. As for the others, they have never had such a bad

consider. Isn't clavamox an antibiotic? I know they sometimes have side

something
Boy, that is strange, sounds like he has been traumatized in the past. You
