KFC
There is not much improvement. She eats a tablespoon of roast chicken per
day, that is all, so gets frailer and frailer. She will not entertain any other food. I am not happy that the vet has not addressed her diarrhoea problems since she was kidnapped, she had perfect poo until then, it's obvious to me that if her bowels keep contracting she will not want to eat. I have to clean up and scrub my carpets every day, I do not mind that she is taken short before she can get to the litter box. I expect it. She is bright, so bright and cheerful that I really do think I can keep her going for a bit longer. I'd like her to have one more summer, but the summer I wanted for her was outside, basking, and now I am too afraid to let her out -( I need to think. |

Years ago, I had a cat that had CRF and liver disease. She had a continual problem with diarrhea -- and that, of course, can quickly lead to dehydration. My vet suggested that I try Immodium AD (pills). I had to *carefully* shave them down to make a pill about the size of a BB. That was not an easy task since they are small to begin with, but I eventually got good enough at it that I could make 3 or 4 kitty pills out of one Immodium, and that treatment helped *immensely.* Also, is KFC getting any fluids (Ringer's lactate)? If not, I think that would be in order. Your vet can do it, but you can also learn to administer it at home (which is much cheaper and would relieve KFC of the stress of making constant visits to the vet). I apologize for not knowing, but I haven't read all of your messages. MaryL |

I talked to my vet about KFC just because I think she is so great. He
thinks the poo problem, as you call it, is more nerves than anything else. If she is confused, like people that can cause her system to mess up. Poor baby, I also know how hard this is for you.

Immodium for the short term, and most vets have a paste they can give you which has cat-specific probiotics in it, to help balance the intestinal flora and cure the runs naturally. |

I apologize for not knowing, but I haven't read all of your messages. I think the vet said not to give fluids. For some reason, it's not easily available in the UK, for pet owners to bring home and administer themselves. I think I remember Adrian saying it was illegal. I don't understand why. It's readily available in the US, and while not dirt cheap, I don't think it's overly expensive either. And it's saved many a kitty's life. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

Tell your vet that Kitty does not have "nerves" and that its the most
stupid thing I ever heard a vet say in my life. She is ill. She has chronic kidney failure, she was fed stupid food by a neighbour, which may well be the death of her since we cannot resolve her diarrhoea and get her eating again. One thing she *does* not have is nerves. I would find another vet if I were you if that's the best they can do. Kitty never has "nerves" she has always been a brave cat. Now, Boyfie has nerves sometimes, but he is a totally different kettle of fish. I talked to my vet about KFC just because I think she is so great. He thinks the poo problem, as you call it, is more nerves than anything else. If she is confused, like people that can cause her system to mess up. Poor baby, I also know how hard this is for you.
