my cats, negative or positive, like a slurry of yogurt AND pumpkin. winn feline foundation just sent out something about early research on the efficacy of probiotics for cats--shows what could be expected, that they DO seem to favorably impact the immune system, but accurate dosages and compounds not yet ascertained.

You can get it on the internetyou can also get Fast Track and/or other probiotics. At least one person mentioned yogurt--look for active cultures. Canned pumpkin, metimuscil (unflavored) and psyllium have helped my guys and girls, both those who have left and the kittens who are here.

My cat had similar issues when we first got him. Get a fecal exam done. Bernie had worms when we found out he was felv+, after he was on meds for that, his diarrhea was better but not totally gone. We did interferon and prescription canned food. That helped. I am now back on dry food, but I still do interferon once a day. He rarely has diarrhea now, but it took a good 3 months to get him back to normal.

I have had pretty good success with yogurt, I have a new kitten (adoption failure, long story) that had very loose stool, I give him about a teaspoon of plain all natural yogurt daily. He loves it and his stools are almost perfect. I stopped giving it to him for a few days and the loose stools came back, firmed up right after I started him on it again. good luck, and thanks for loving this little one!

[Felvtalk] Advice on 9 month old FELV + kitty
I am sure you have covered this a thousand times but I haven't been on here all that long and am very far behind on reading the emails. I have a newborn and work and times get hectic, sorry. We adopted a kitten that after a neg test later turned out to be pos. We love her so we are keeping her. The clinics around us usually recommend euthanasia and don't have a ton of experience treating pos cats. We have a neg cat 12 years old as well. My problem is that Maggie goes through boughts of what I call horribly smelly Pancake batter poops. They are very watery and smell very foul. During these times she acts as though she is not feeling well ( I wouldn't either if that came out of my bottom). I would like to know what stuff seems to work best and what stuff to avoid. I asked my vet about interferon to build immune, she didn't seem very knowledgeable about it but prescribed it anyway. Seems like the diarrhea has been worse since she got on it and it is $40 plus shipping a month. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I hate seeing her miserable.
