Hi there, we are finding that Fortiflora doesn't contain near enough healthy flora or the proper kind to make a real difference. Plus it contains animal digest which is just disgusting. LOL. We're finding that human probiotics with as much healthy flora and several different strains are much better. One that contains no additives. Also, I agree that maybe it's time for something like an ultrasound as IBD (inflammatory bowel disease, thickening of the intestines) needs diagnostic testing. One thing is for sure she needs to eat more soon or she is in danger of developing hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease). It really doesn't take long at all for this to happen so I would consider calling the vet back, and asking for cyproheptadine (appetite stimulant) and telling them you'd like an ultrasound done. In the meantime, I also agree that something with higher calories, like kitten food or even ask your vet for some Science Diet A/D. I'm not a fan of SD food but A/D is good for getting some calories in her and helping her through this crisis. Even if you have to syringe feed it, I recommend doing so if she's not eating. It's imperative that she does eat!
