Best ideas I have would be to let them romp around with the older guys as
soon as you can and to just always pick them up, nuzzle and put down-make it
a game with them. One thing about kittens-they just love to play!

They are actually doing really well so far. I have one sitting in my lap right
now napping, but when I starting typing on the keyboard, she woke up a little
and just follows the cursor with her eyes! But no freak-out or anything. I
also discovered the other night that they will nap while I h

Please do not assume IBD. That's basically a default diagnosis when nothing
else makes sense.
1. How long was he on metronidazole and at what dosage?
2. Has your vet considered tritrichomonas foetus and treatment with
ronidazole? (Tritrich is really pretty common. Until recently howe
Just a suggestion, have you ever tried a raw diet? I feed raw, and one thing
I've read many times, is that cats with chronic IBD often develop normal poo
when fully switched to raw.

When you stare at them you are challenging them. I know it is fun but you need
to look at them thru almost closed eyes. You are threatening to them. I found
out the hard way. I thought you could stare down a cat like you can some dogs.
NOPE. They are CAT.
Ask Monkee to help you.

Caroline I've been battling diarrhea for months. It began as giardia
and we used everything beginning with

but it is back again and we in the same state that you are.

Try Feliway and CatNap (Dr. Maier has some) to calm them. Use the spray, not
the plug ins. Feed them in very small amounts numerous times a day and let
them see you and associate you with the food.
Watch out for those baby teeth. Don't be afraid but know that they know how to
protect thems
Yep, treat that boy! I'd go with ronidazole rather than flagyl/metronidazole.
Ronidazole will treat giardia and tritrich.
What dosage of metronidazole was he previously on and for how long? Don't
count on fecal tests to be accurate. They really aren't especially in the
early stages.
Well, Yoda's favorite thing to do is run across my bed, romp on it and rummage
in my pillow! So sometimes there are poopy footprints left on my bed! It's so
gross- and I have a multiple junky covers I use as my top sheet to protect my
actual bedsheets from getting the Yoda-prints...but still,

Thanks! That makes me feel better! I do leave the TV on their room all day to
force them to get used to human voices. As far as food bowls and litter box-
no problem (except for the inevitable laying in the litter box!). Nothing is
going to stop these little pigs from eating...trust me. Es
yeah, what susan just said. i will go and sit in the room with them,
too, with some absolutely irresistable toy and make an absolute fool out of
myself playing with it, ignoring them all the while. often the temptation to
play is just TOO great to resist i won't try to force contact on them
Metronidazole can in very rare instances cause convulsions. Very rare though.
Untreated giardia is far more dangerous.
And, uh, Caroline, if you ever catch giardia from a foster kitty, we're going
to have to discuss some grooming issues. Transmission is a fecal to oral
route. So don't
You're actually off to a very good start.
- Keep holding and petting, whether they admit to liking it or not, and keep
the feathery toys handy.
- Keep them in a very small space so you can easily get your hands on them.
- Add a little meat baby food to your repertoire, especially t
I feel like I'm just not getting enough attention from the agency's vet and

Fostered a little guy that somebody had dumped .. he was a real problem to

cats and I th

All these parasites are real tough to find---they require repeated fecal

You know - has he been treated for coccidia? A lot of times my vet will
treat for coccidia even if nothing shows up on the fecal, because it is so
hard to detect. Metronidazole doesn't cure coccidia...Albon or there is a
new drug that does it...

Consider tritrichomonas foetus, which is similar to giardia but requires
treatment with ronidazole. (Info at

A lot of times, fecal tests show nothing even when something is definitely
there.
