Karen composed with style: in article , Hank at wrote on 9/28/03 12:20 PM: I give him filtered water using a high quality system that filters out 99% of chlorine. I've been giving him this since before his diarrhea. Also, he has been on dry food the whole time. Hank Maybe he needs to be on wet food. Will he eat chicken? Maybe a bland diet of boiled pureed chicken and rice will help clear it up, then you can find a good canned catfood. Ground up chicken and rice is often advised for a few days to help clear up diarrhea. Karen Also, if it's a new thing, fasting for 24 hours is often recommended to clear the system of anything it can't handle before going to a bland diet short term. |

From: "Hank"
This whole thing started with the diet change. Diarrhea was never a problem before the diet change. Maybe it's a food alergy, I don't know. So your cat didn't have a problem until you started feeding him the urinary formula of Science Diet? Interesting. Maybe he is allergic to something in the Hill's foods, I don't know. If it were my cat, I would take him to a holistic vet, since you've already tried 2 allopathic vets with no success. If you live in the US, they have a state by state listing at www.altvetmed.com. There is also a very helpful group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FelineIBD/ Good luck and I hope your kitty gets well soon. Four months of diarrhea can't be fun (for you or him).

Hill Prescription WD isn't for urinary problems, it is high fiber. |

I've used short term fasting to let their irritated little bowels settle down. The great thing about run of the mill mut cats is they have a lot less of these intestinal tantrums.
