One not-heartbreaking thing is the fact that little MeMe has you to
care for her and by your very caring she is better than otherwise.
Did I mention bovine colostrum from a health food store? It smells
just like vanilla ice cream and most of them will lick it right off
the end of your finger--just wet it and dip it in the powder. You
can also take it yourself--it is an immune system booster used for
humans as well. I have a friend who had her colon removed on it daily.
When my precious 3 Orange Boyz were still being bottle fed they
didn't care for First Born either. They wanted the other stuff but
it didn't have colostrum in it, soi I was stumped. I finally gave
them the straight colostrum from my finger, yum yum! Start with 1/4
cap--it's rich and we don't want litle barfing kitties, that's for
sure. You can work up to 1/2 cap if possible.
Giardia is tough to quash. Keep at it!

I thought we had finally gotten rid of giardia, but we are back to
diarrhea. We are also back to swollen glands.
We are still making progress with stomatitis and a runny nose is
now an every other day event.
It is so heartbreaking to see this sweet little cat not feeling well.
Marylyn, I did get First Born (powder) but she does not seem to
like it. I have been mixing it into wet
food, but she will not eat it.
She has been on so many antibiotics without much success. I had
been so hopeful that I could get her to
a 'symptom free' state, but it is not happening.
We still have IR to do. I just hope something will work.
As always, any ideas are appreciated.

year old. I have had her for four months
and she was diagnosed by my vet about 6 weeks ago)
