I know! I win at Valentine's Day!

Hey, thanks for checking in! She had the procedure last weekend. So far, no improvement that I can tell, but something I read online says it can take months for the good bacteria to grow, so we aren't panicking yet.  Also, I just found out I'm pregnant yesterday, so I don't really need to be...

Well, maybe it IS IBD, but she tested positive for certain bacteria that apparently this fixes? She tested positive for two...Both started with a C, and I threw away the paper so I am of no use when it comes to spelling them.

Thanks for following up! I meant to come back and update sooner, but I updated here: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/271961/lola-cat-update-the-diarrhea-diaries-part-iv-in-which-she-gets-new-poop

So, as a follow up to threads Here, Here, and Here, this will HOPEFULLY OMG be the end of the road. We have tried every medicine and food mix we know to do, aside from homecooked, because SURPRISE, we still have no kitchen. It's been three months. Still none. It's fantastic, ask me how I feel...

We are spacing out...sort of. The antibiotics are morning and night. The probiotics are at night. We can't really do it any other way because we work. We did start giving the medicine about 2 hours before the probiotic. That's about the best we can space it out, unfortunately. :\ I'm not sure...

Thanks for your reply, Denice. I have to call my vet Friday to give her a report, and at that time, we go to a specialist if things haven't improved. She did say the next step would be a steroid, but she is so hesitant to do it on a 1-year-old cat without seeing a specialist first. So, I do...

Ok. Here's what's happening (the original thread is here). In addition to everything I mentioned I'm doing in that thread (L-Lysine, Diarsonyl, Metro), I switched to a refrigerated natural food I found at the grocery store two days ago. Now, Lola throws up everything so hard she poops...

Ok. Here's what's happening. I'm going to start a new thread but I wanted to update in here first. In addition to everything I mentioned I'm doing (L-Lysine, Diarsonyl, Metro), I switched to a refrigerated natural food I found at the grocery store two days ago. Now, Lola throws up everything...

Thanks for sticking with this thread. I just alternate between feeling punished for doing a good deed (adopting her) and just wanting to cry for all sorts of reasons...like...We're trying to get pregnant--should I really be cleaning up this much cat poop? Then I feel bad for feeling negative...

Ok, I think I got it. I'm ordering both of those on Amazon prime, and I'll add it to what we're already doing for her right now (L-Lysine, Natural Factors, two meds). Hopefully it will be here in time to try it Tuesday evening. We started her meds last night. No problems. I THOUGHT I might have...

Thank you SO much for your reply, LDG. I am going over to the other thread after I type this up, but let me see if I'm on the same page as you. Should I take her OFF of the Natural Factors probiotic and put her on the yeast-based one (Is this it?) INSTEAD while she is on the metro, or should I...

So, since this post, the vet got all the test results back from her panel. She came back positive for Clostridium and Coronavirus. The vet is going to give me metronidazole and diarsonyl gel (which did seem to help the last week). I'll back up. Since her last visit, she relapsed, even when I...

Ok, well now I'm terrified, because I give Lysine to all my cats every day and have for 3 years. It was recommended here 3 years ago.

Hmm, now I'm not so sure that's on the panel, because we had to refrigerate the specimen. They were really clear about that part.
