Re: [Felvtalk] Imodium for kitten diarrhea
Have you tried a raw diet for them? It's worked for me on many kitties. Diarrhea goes away almost instantly. I had one who had it severely also, the raw diet is the only thing that cured her. I believe it saved her life. Antibiotics can contribute to the diarrhea as you probably know. Feed them good food and they'll need no meds! Wish you luck. Catinfo.org and catnutrition.org or buy it from Felines Pride.com. Tracey On Tue, Dec 4, 2012 at 4:35 PM, Lorrie wrote: > >I have two rescued kittens approx 4 months old. Both >have diarrhea.

Re: [Felvtalk] Imodium for kitten diarrhea
Hi, I have 6 cxats from 2 years to 15. I am having touble switching them to raw food. All they want is kibble (Blue Buffalo) so it has no wheat, corn or soy. 2 go out for about 2 hours a day and hunt so smaybe they are getting enough mice, moles, oles and shrews to satisfy their need, not sure. Older ones do not go out and they are the ones with vomitting problems and their problem is getting upset when others coje near. They jump and run for cover and of course they vommit. have decided I am going to have to feed them in seperte room so they have the opportunity to get a bit of peace and quiet before letting them back with the others.

Re: [Felvtalk] Imodium for kitten diarrhea
A raw diet would be good, but with 26 cats I just can't do it. Too expensive and too much work for my ancient self! The kittens are better now with Albon and Kaolin.

Re: [Felvtalk] Imodium for kitten diarrhea
Lorrie, glad to know they're better! But, as far as price goes, I can make it for about $1.30/lb which equates to 45 cents for a 5.5 oz can of 9 lives...dirt cheap for premium cat food. Anyway, I understand that with 26 cats it would be pretty hard to make that much food...how do you do it? Wow, that's a lot of cats!
