Chris,
Psyllium flakes should be available at a health food store. I've not
been following the threads very carefully, so someone might have
already mentioned these supplements. My FeLV+ girl seems to be seeing
some benefits from Liquid DMG and Transfer Factor. I would think that
both are fairly easy to obtain in Canada. Prayers for Mylo.

Where can I get Metamucil/psyllium from? Mylo has been eating Medi-
Cal hypoallergenic gastro for over a week now because of his
diarrhea and internal problems. He has had the diarrhea since
Christmas time. He has had to get IV fluids and injections a few
times as well.

Everyone on this list is more familiar with FeLV than I am.
However, diarrhea can have numerous causes including food
allergies (I am very familiar with that from the Royal Princess
Kitty Katt) and, despite what many vets believe, they can be
developed at any age. Kitty was almost 13 when we started having
food allergy problems. If you have not tried adding Metamucil/
psyllium (bad spelling) to Mylo's food you should consider it.
You may want to consult an alternative vet too. Dixie Louise sees
her regular vets and an alternative vet.
Good luck.

Thanks for your email. My vet did 3 sets of blood work in the
last two weeks. Mylo has a high white blood cell count (38) a low
red blood cell count (4); he has FeLV and anemia. The vet didn't
say what the underlying sickness could be. He just said that Mylo
tested positive for FeLV and there is nothing we can do. I am
currently trying to see another vet on Mylo's condition. I don't
know what's causing Mylo's diarrhea but he has had it for weeks
now. He is taking flagyl but it isn't helping. I left a message
for my new vet to call me tomorrow so I hope to get some more info.

Chris,
Sorry you are having these problems, my first concerns are
your vet, what did he do to find out what is wrong with your
Mylo?? If nothing then if I were you I'd run, not walk to a
different vet!!! What did your vet say is wrong with Mylo other
than being positive?? FeLV is a virus that compromises the
immune system which in turn allows other illnesses to take hold
and flourish, it in itself is not what makes cats sick, the
other illnesses that can take hold are. Did your vet even test
for anything, do any blood work, give you anything for the
diarrhea, find out whats causing the diarrhea??
