Well, I had gotten Lucy to eat a decent amount for dinner, mostly baby food
(1.5 jars), some i/d dry (which she had not had in months), and a little bit of
raw duck. But at 3 am, about 7 hours later, she just had completely liquid
diarrhea and seems to feel nauseous also. Right now I am
Try chicken instead of turkey. Some of the better holistic books say
turkey is a major cause of food allergies in cats and chicken is not. I
can't cite the books (they are boxed for moving) but I went thru this with the
Royal Princess Kitty Katt. Please try chicken instead. Also, if you

Michelle,
Marylyn has a point about the chicken. I do seem to remember chicken
being recommended over turkey, but Gypsy didn't do well on chicken,
(that's why it's turkey mush instead of chicken mush). Anything you can
do to combat the meds you have her on is a good idea. Flagil is harsh
If you make the turkey mush, add some plain yogurt to it. I think I
was putting in 2 or 3 tablespoons at one time. I'd probably stick with
the turkey at this point too. It seems our girls are the exception to
the rule.

When Gypsy was being so finicky and I was feeding her anything she would
eat, (at one point duck and beef combined, steak mind you, she wouldn't
touch hamburger), she had wasted away to nothing and I wasn't so much
concerned about the horrible diarrhea as I was just getting her to eat
thank you s much girlies will have to wait until tomorrow to see if the vet has any of the science diet a/d but will try the baby meats and maybe some of the pached ground chicken.

Their immune systems are weakened by the fiv. They might get sick from an felv cat. An felv cat might get anemia, cancer, whatever, but they typically don't catch fiv from a cat because an fiv cat is not going to bite them. but the fiv cat can pick up the felv just from grooming (or so

It's hard to say what would help without knowing what is wrong with
her. She needs a diagnosis. There are so many things that positive cats
can get, and most have treatments of one sort or another that at least sometimes
work.

I agree, but I think it's more difficult for a well cat to catch fiv than felv. but I think it's also pretty rare for a well cat to catch felv...As far as what is 'more' contagious though is the felv to an fiv compromised cat than vice versa.tGloria Lane [EMAIL

Well, she ate almost all of the second batch of turkey that I broiled, and
