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: <http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=entirelypets&query=Fo rtiFlora&x=12&y=9&.autodone=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.yahoo.com%2Fentirelypets%2Fns earch.html> http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=entirelypets&query=For tiFlora&x=12&y=9&.autodone=http%3A%2F%2Fstore.yahoo.com%2Fentirelypets%2Fnse arch.html Melissa Lind wrote: 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
