Seems like I heard that kittens should be retested at 6 months. Not sure though. Many kittens have URI and coccidia, which is usually what Albon is for. I've had some people tell me that their cats went months before they actually had a solid poop. That could be from anything. So if the

From the subject line I think we already talked about diatomaceous earth. It's good stuff too. I used it in conjunction with the nematodes and all of it together made a big difference. Oh, nematodes can't handle the sun so put them in shady areas. “I am not interested to know whether
