Michelle,
Marylyn has a point about the chicken. I do seem to remember chicken
being recommended over turkey, but Gypsy didn't do well on chicken,
(that's why it's turkey mush instead of chicken mush). Anything you can
do to combat the meds you have her on is a good idea. Flagil is harsh
on the system too. Poor little lamb, I do so hope she feels better soon,

Try chicken instead of turkey. Some of the better holistic books say
turkey is a major cause of food allergies in cats and chicken is not.
I can't cite the books (they are boxed for moving) but I went thru
this with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt. Please try chicken instead.
Also, if you can get it Fast Track or any active bacteria med will
help reestablish the "good bacteria" that the meds are destroying to
get to the "bad bacteria" which maybe leading to the overgrowth.
Please, please, ask your vet to consider a food allergy situation. It
may not be all there is to it but if it is even part of the problem it
can be dealt with easily. Kitty was about 10 years old when she
developed her allergies so don't believe a cat can be too old to have
the problem. The diarrhea was watery and extremely smelly for her and
she lost so much weight. When we figured it out (thanks to the angels
I mentioned before) everything worked out in that regard...no more
diarrhea and the weight came back.
