Re: [Felvtalk] Diarrhea
Thank you for your good wishes and suggestions. Kitty has not had diarrhea since 9am, I did not feed her until 4:30 and then only homemade chicken broth , with a little white rice and pumpkin. She has had that three times and since she has peed twice but no bowel movement. I'm hoping I can reintroduce solid food tomorrow at some point. Sent from my iPhone.

Re: [Felvtalk] Diarrhea
Hi Maryam, My FeLV+ girl has had a few bouts of diarrhea, and canned pumpkin (not pie filling, of course) seemed to help. Ember seemed to enjoy the flavor or texture of pumpkin, too. She ate it by itself, though I think most people stir it into other food. Best wishes for Kitty to feel better today.

Re: [Felvtalk] Diarrhea
I have successfully used Propectalin to stop diarrhea in cats when there was no apparent cause (change of diet or some sort of parasite, bacteria). It's a paste. Comes in a tube and usually costs about $12. You put a 1" strip on your finger and swipe it into the cat's mouth. Be careful not to lose a finger. You do this two or three times a day for a couple of days or until you see that her stool is back to normal. It's sort of like Imodium for people.

Re: [Felvtalk] Diarrhea
I would suggest some probiotics...sounds like gut flora is off. Your vet may carry it...it's called Probiocin...comes in a gel/paste form in a syringe that cats like. Really helps with diarrhea. Also, a complete and balanced raw food diet will do the trick also. Yogurt really doesn't have that much probiotics in it, but if that's all you have, I'd try it. If the diarrhea persists, I'd get her to the vet...she may needs sub-q fluids to rehydrate her.

[Felvtalk] Diarrhea
Hello everyone, I'm sorry to bother you all, last night, a few minutes past midnight, Kitty had diarrhea. She had it again at 4 this morning and again about 15min ago now. Her feeding schedule has been, she ate her regular canned food with mixed water at 9pm last night and again this morning at 5am, when fed her this morning, I made sure to make to mix more water than usual with her food. There has been no changes to her diet in the past few days but she did go to the vet on Wednesday and all her bloodwork came back without issues. At this time should I start her on a broth diet? Any specific items to include? Vitamins? How long? should we take her to the vet? According to dr. Pitcairns book yogurt is also good after two days of broth, is that a good idea? How about using slippery elm? Thanks a lot and I'm sorry to be a bother, Maryam Sent from my iPad ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
