That colostrum is good stuff for kitties... e.

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.

It seems as though we take a step forward and then two steps backward. 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.
