I actually had to force feed my Ginger for over 3 months.  She is also FelK positive, her appetites runs like a roller coaster sometimes, all of sudden, she stops eating as if she forgets to eat.. but she never acts sick or not feeling well at all, she just refuses food.. it happened about three times for the past year that I have had her.. but now, she is eating like a little piggy girl (thanks to my baby angel, Garfunkle).. you have to make sure though you give enough food to complement a day supplement for a kitty, if it’s too much to do at a time, you might have to give 6 servings or so to make it up.. a kitty needs 36cc food at least, I was told..   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marissa Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 9:29 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Introduction   Thanks for the tips!  The vet did suggest Pepsid so I have been doing that.  I am mainly concerned about his lack of appetitie, and general him not being "himself."  I mean how long can I force feed him?  It's frustrating because I wish he could just tell me what is wrong and I could fix it!   Marissa   On 12/2/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Also, I would order an over-the-counter diarrhea medicine for cats called Diarsanyl, which I have found really good for curing simple diarrhea. And slippery elm can help a lot with both nausea and diarrhea. Michelle
