Lance, I just spoke to Kit's vet and she would like to just start off with the probiotics first. Just add one thing in to see Kit's reaction. So we will begin with that.
I had one cat who loved pumpkin and licked it off the spoon. She never had a BM problem! :-) Thx again!

Ultimately up to your vet, but I would think they would be fine together. Plain pumpkin is just fiber that should help slow things down. The only catch is that Kit may not like it, but it’s cheap and widely available, so maybe worth a shot. Lance On Feb 10, 2016, at 9:36 AM, gidge...@aol.com wrote: Thank you Lance. Being new at this, I'm not sure what is good for a cat with FeLV and what is not. I did contact the vet and she asked me to start a probiotic, which I have Mercola's "Complete Probiotics for Pets." Can I safely use both?

She would eat it on its own out of a bowl, though I think most people mix it with wet food. Pumpkin is gentle and can firm up things a bit. Ember periodically had diarrhea, though it was only two or three times a year. Along with pumpkin, I would also fast her for 12-18 hours, and that would give her system time to get back on track. Just be very careful with the fasting. 18 hours might have been a bit too long, though neither Ember (nor her liver) ever showed any signs for the worse from it. Best to you and Kit, Lance On Feb 10, 2016, at 7:11 AM, gidge...@aol.com wrote: Hello everyone, so far it has been all good news for Kit. Blood work perfect. About 4 days ago, she developed diarrhea. While she is not running to the litterbox all the time, when she does go (maybe twice daily or 3), it is watery. I know FeLV cats could develop IBD. Could this be it? How and what would you all suggest? I have probiotics (Complete for Pets by Dr. Mercola) and I also have Digestive Enzymes which also contains probiotics. Would either of these (or both) help? Would appreciate your opinions. I also sent an email to the vet. Thank you!
