Jane, I would be very grateful to hear what worked for you when you have the time. The little guy also has diarrhea. I hope to get an appointment with my vet today to see what we are fighting against. I can't believe the people at this rescue told me he was asymptomatic. He is such a sweetheart. He slept on my lap and purred for ages last night. Thank you for any help and suggestions. Sue
