Thanks for the reply :) We've been dropper-feeding her for the past few days; she doesn't like it but it's better than the alternative.  We've only been getting about 3/4 can in a day, because we're out of the house a lot. We took her to the vet on Monday (again) and got a full blood panel...

On the plus side, her diarrhea's nearly disappeared; her stool's much firmer.  Small blessings, I suppose.

Two weeks ago I posted about feeding my FIV kitty, Arwen, asking for advice on what to feed her, because she wasn't eating much.  It was recommended that we switch her from all-dry to an all-wet diet, which I did, and she seemed to be doing better. Then she stopped eating again. We tried...

Hey everybody. I've been doing a bit of research into cat nutrition lately, and it seems that I haven't been doing the best by my poor FIV kitty. She's always been a bit skinny, but she's been losing weight recently and I'm concerned for her. Because she has chronic diarrhea, the vet...
