Melissa,
Did you see the post about FortiFlora from Jane? You might want to ask
your vet about it. Here's a paste from an email I sent to someone else
battling diarrhea with her cat:
> My sister forwarded your update about Sophie to me and I had a
thought... Someone on my felv list has a homeopathic vet that she
really trusts and a kitty with diarrhea issues. Her vet suggested a
probiotic, (which Sophie should be on anyway if she's taking abx), made
by all people, Purina. It's called *FortiFlora* and this vet described
the results she's had with it as "profound". I did a quick search
looking for studies/info besides that provided by the manufacturers and
haven't been able to find anything yet, but that's probably because it's
a proprietary "blend" supplement and I'd have to research ingredients
rather than the name of the product. Anyway, I'm thinking of ordering
it for my gang, (esp my IBD girl Gypsy) and thought you might be
interested in checking it out too. It's suppose to promote immunity as
well as intestinal health. I found it at EntirelyPets.com for $23.99:

I've got to take our Ashley in tomorrow--still has loose
stools. But, she's not FeLV+, so I guess I should move my thoughts on her to
the other discussion...
Anyways, you made it through Monday--and that's great!
Melissa
