Interesting. All the facts I could find were directed at humans with cancer though, not felines, thus it's hard to say for sure if this all applies, because we generally don't consider fruits, vegetables and grains as good food choices for cats. Perhaps though, supplementing with a high fiber supp

No, you can give benadryl in it's pill form, get the tablets, not the caplets, and break one in half, that is a safe cat dose! 1/2 of a 25MG tablet, or 12.5MG is the usual cat dose. Phaewryn Don't Lose Your Pet! Register at AWOLpet.com: http://AWOLPet.com (use referral code: LittleCheetah) Whitey

Children's benadryl is so diluted you have to give such a large amount to a cat it's not practical. I think it's like a whole teaspoon or more to equal a 12.5MG dose. The adult pills are much easier, they are already small, and once you cut them in half, they are VERY easy to get into a cat (you ca

FELV doesn't usually cause diarrhea (not in itself, though I believe lymphoma can, and FELV does cause lymphoma). However, bad food is the #1 cause. Purina is crap, throw it away, feed it to the raccoons, just get rid of it. Feed a high quality kitten food, like Innova, Wellness, or Chicken Soup

Maybe you vet could give her something for the pain, at least. The IBD is so hard, because anything you can normally give to a cat to help them makes the IBD flare up. I feel bad for her and you! I'm glad I don't have any IBD here, it would drive me insane, I think. What about Slippery Elm? Hasn't
