For your cat that can't be pilled. Ask at your local pharmacy, most medicines can be made into either a quick disolving tablet and some- even a liquid that you can put on their ears or gums. It never hurts to ask.
Good luck.

Thank you for the prayers and well wishes for Grace. She seems a little
better this morning, so maybe you and the dox are helping. The diarrhea
is still bad, but last night I was able to get her to drink some diluted
chicken liver broth and this morning she drank water on her own, she's
not eating though. I'm watching her closely. I don't want to have to
bring her to the vet as an emergency patient, because I don't want her
to be stressed out in a cage, if I can help it. If the situation starts
to look desperate, that's what I'll do.
Sally,
I haven't taken Grace's temp, but she doesn't feel to the touch like she
has a fever. There was a good deal of vomiting going on in the
household, so I switched from dry ProPlan Natural to Natural Balance, (I
think that's the name, the one Dick Van Patton has his name on). I
mixed it t! o switch them slowly, and not everyone has diarrhea, Gypsy
still does, (it's been months). Gypsy is the feral turned house cat,
that is finally enjoying being petted. Trying to pill her would send
her a giant step backwards in her trust for us. She's neg and acts
perfectly healthy in every other way, except she's always been too
skinny for my taste. I had tried sneaking flagil into liver pieces and
she got about 6 days worth before she started to chew and spit. That
stuff is really nasty tasting! She's also on acidophilous. I'm
thinking of trying one of the prescription foods that have the proteins
broken down for easier digestion.
I'm feeling more confident about Grace surviving long enough to be
treated with the Virbagen. Pray it gets here in time, and pray it
works! I too can't imagine going through all this without the
opportunity to see if it could help her. Unfortunately we're all too
painfully aware that life's not fair.
You people are the best, thank you for the support,
Nina
