Thank you for your suggestions. I am on my way to trying to get one of the drugs you mentioned. Mylo has an appointment with a specialist on Saturday, that deals with chronic and severe illnesses so hopefully he can perscribe me something that can help Mylo. As for vitamins...I'm not sure where

Canada is pretty good about getting just about anything you can get in the USA. The Feline Interferon Omega wont be easy to get for you... others here can send you the paperwork involved to import it to the USA, you could call what-ever the Canada office over drugs is, and ask them if it's

Where can I get Metamucil/psyllium from? Mylo has been eating Medi-Cal hypoallergenic gastro for over a week now because of his diarrhea and internal problems. He has had the diarrhea since Christmas time. He has had to get IV fluids and injections a few times as well. From: Marylyn

You are going to love this--Metamucil/psyllium is normally available in the laxative area of any grocery/Wal-Mart etc or in health food stores (my preference). You use just a pinch of the unflavored Metamucil in the food with each feeding. A little more is not going to hurt anything. As all

Hi Nina, he's a certified internist...if that makes sense. I'm just learning about these things. Mylo seems the same but eating a little less than yesterday. He is out of the room he usually likes to hang out in and that's a good thing. Thank you for your good wishes. From: Nina [EMAIL

Metamucil is available here over the counter, it's a fiber supplement for humans. If you go with that, look for the unflavored kind. Psyllium husk is a powder that you can find at the health food store. Neither of these things helped my Gypsy with her diarrhea, switching her to a raw diet
