Sour cream for the diarrhea? Does the sour cream you use say on the label with live and active acidophilus cultures? Most sour cream does NOT have any beneficial bacteria in it, so make sure you're feeding one that has it in there, like this one:

Hi Sue, Glad you have found our site. It's a great one! You might consider upping the L-lysine dose for your kitty. I adopted a kitten last February that had severe corneal ulcers (had to have one eye removed before we adopted her). After I took her home, I tried everything the vet gave me

Jasmine, Hi and welcome to our group. Glad you found it. Many kittens test positive for FeLV early on, only to test negative later on. The mother's antibodies still remaining in kitty's system is what causes this. About 40% of cats who actually contract FeLV throw off the virus. Chances are
