Hi Tad,   Thank you for giving me the info on that medicine.  I will suggest to my vet and see what happens.  You are so lucky to have the room to separate your living room.  I don’t have a lot of house as it is so I’m trying to figure something out in my office area.  I did so want to have a sewing corner but it looks like “The Fosters” will have to have that space.  (sigh)   You’re right!  I wish I could win the lottery and make a cat sanctuary for these poor babies.   Trina   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Tad Burnett Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 8:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Tad   Hi Trina   The diarrhea medicine came with the kittins from their foster mom...We showed it to our vet and he said it was alright to use if it worked...Its a perscription from a vet...mefronityoli...Its a hand wriien lable and I am guessing at some of the letters but our vet recognized it.... We had the same thing...there was no reason for the diarrhea but it didn't go away until we gave the medicine and he didn't act sick...     What I did was use my living room which is on the south west corner of the house with a closed in breeze way attached and I put up a temp. wall with a door in it so I have to go through 2 doors to get into their room from the rest of the house...I use the space between the 2 walls to store food and litter etc... This is necessary becouse there are escape artists from both sides that have to be put back often.... The room is 14 x 16 with 5 windows on to sides which makes it nice for the cats but good thing we arn't big entertainers...most of our guests sit at the kitchen table anyway.... Yes...If only we could win the lottery or a rich uncle make a donation I would love to take in more but 28 has got to be my limit !!!   Actually the 7 in the living room have more space than the 21 in the main house as most of them all want to be in the same room that we are in....Fun fun....   Tad Trina Woods wrote: Tad, I just wanted to say you are so wonderful to have so many FELV+ kitties.  I hope you might be able to answer some questions about how you keep them separated.  I have two fosters that are positive and my other six are not.  So far they are kept in my bedroom but I would like to build something that they can roam around in without being in contact with the rest of my herd.    What do you do about the diarrhea?  One of my positives has had it for almost two weeks.  I took her to the vet and after a stool sample analysis they told me nothing was wrong.  I am not impressed with the vets out here as it is, but that kind of did it for me.  All they suggested was white rice.  I am feeding her a teaspoon of pure pumpkin and steamed white rice along with some cooked chicken for now.  She seems to be getting a little better but I can't let her out of the bathroom just yet.    I would appreciate any recommendations you can offer.  I wanted to find a home for the fosters but it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon.  I just wish I had more time to spend with them.   Trina       No virus found in this incoming message.
