Well to be honest I had no way of checking this because the sour cream came from a Mexican restaurant, but I had already checked to see which brands have live cultures. I first had to make sure he would eat it. He loves it. His diarrhea is not all that bad mainly loose stools from the antibiotics as we all have experienced.
At any rate the calories may help to keep weight on. He is still eating but not as much as usual. The eye drops are much easier to use than the ointment. I thought it would be harder to get them in his eye. One of my negative cats, Ittle Bitty is sneezing now. This cat did not catch the original URI that apparently brought on the FeLV. He is vaccinated for everything and it only seems to be sneezing involved. I do mix the cats as some suggested, but mostly they are separated. All the negative cats were vaccinated and kept separate for a period of time. Junior and Tiny stay in my room. This creates some stress for Junior as he does not like Tiny never has! They do tolerate each other, but occasionally hiss at each other. Nothing I can do about this. It is the only place I can keep them. They are half brothers. Funny thing is all the sick cats were orange or yellow(buff) colored. I have one other Orange and white cat, Speedy who is negative and their half sister who is negative. I don't know if genetics play a role in predisposing the cats to infection by the virus. Have any studies been done on this? Thanks for the heads up.

Does the sour cream you use say on the label " with live and active acidophilus cultures"? Most sour cream does NOT have any beneficial bacteria in it, so make sure you're feeding one that has it in there, like this one: http://organicvalley.coop/utility/faq/sour_cream_faq.html Phaewryn Please save Whitey! http://ucat.us/Whitey.html VT low cost Spay&Neuter, and Emergency Financial Assistance for cat owners: http://ucat.us/VermontLowCost.html Special Needs Cat Resources: http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html
