Thanks for this info Caroline--will be looking into this one. I'd never heard of it before. I like that it's safe too, and "generally gets the gut back in order". Paws crossed! Kerry

I got so frustrated- trying everything- and unlike you, I had a stupid doc that just said, oh we didn't find anything in the fecal-- and I was like, well, you probably won't, so we just have to treat the symptoms! Ugh, sucked. Since I have done holistic care before I consulted with my holistic vet and she said try "wrm clear"- not sure how it's spelled on the bottle, but it's called worm clear. It's a holistic treatment- natural. She said it naturally clears worms, bacteria and can even work on coccidia and things like that. She said it also just generally helps the gut get back in order- balances out the good and bad bacteria. I used it on him for the 14 day course of treatment (there's also directions for a "maintenance" dose). The directions are a little funny- it talks about adding it to water, or deliverying into the mouth and! after talking to her about it, I went with the 3 doses a day in the mouth so that I was sure he was getting it all. Comes in a bottle like a liquid eye med (don't get them confused!). It really worked on him honestly. It was weird b/c I couldn't ever get anything diagnosed, other than me thinking that he has a more fragile gastro tract b/c of his super rough start in life. It does act up sometimes- like when I switched him from Wellness canned to Eagle Pack canned (oh lordy, that was HELL! For everyone!)-- but I was really impressed with the wrm clear that first time I did the 14 day treatment on him. Nothing else had worked! It's definitely worth a try b/c unlike an actual medication, it won't do any harm-- it only helps! I got some bottles from my holistic vet, but I have also seen it online at the pet supply places. Hope this helps.
