Thanks for the info on FortiFlora - I hadn[t heard of it and will
check it out for those of my gang who may need it.

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!
