You might try to add a little pumpkin to his food. Real canned
pumpkin, not pie filling. I keep several cans on hand because of the
ferals at Mom's. Most are not touchable and you can only do what you
can do for them. My vets use psyllium (just a pinch).

Crystal, have you tried a raw food for him? When I first got my
positive
kitty, she had uncontrollable (bloody)
diarrhea, and I tried every food I could. The only thing that
stopped it
was a raw food consisting of chicken and bones (among other
ingredients).
She was on antibiotics, fortiflora, and had been wormed several
times. She
had been through so much up to that point and that was my last
resort -- but
it worked! I can't tell you how I fretted over her condition -- she
was
miserable until I started feeding her the raw. Feline's Pride is
one of the
best on the market, but expensive and you have to have it shipped.
Nature's
Variety is another food that I have seen in the pet stores though.
It might
be worth a try, this is a diet highly recommended for Irritable Bowel
Disease. Good luck, my heart goes out to you.

Hi, my name is Crystal. My husband and I rescued three kittens
that were 4
weeks old at the time, (now 14 weeks), from an old building. We
tamed them
as well. About 6 weeks ago we found out that they were all FELV
positive.
Two of them are fine and doing great. The runt, Nibbler, isn’t.
He’s been
on antibiotics to try and get rid of his constant runny eyes and
nose…we had
to stop them about 2 weeks ago because he has bloody diarrhea. He
is very
symptomatic and my vet says the disease is just running its course
and has
run out if suggestions for me. He’s also half the size of his
brothers.
However, I was hoping someone here might have some help for me
because I
don’t want to give up on him. Here’s my list…
He has severe diarrhea. Today it seems to be much more watery and
blood.
I have been given him yogurt, acidophilus, and Purina Forta Flora.
He was
getting boiled chicken, but will only eat canned cat food now.
He’s also
been wormed.
He has a constant runny eyes and nose. He gets L-Lysine, B Vitamin
Complex, and Ginger Root.
Also, from the diarrhea he is very anemic so he gets Pet Tinic.
He still runs and tries to get into rooms he’s not supposed to and
gets on
my chest and purrs in my face. He’s my baby.
Please and help and prayers would be appreciated.
