Keep in touch with me on Coco because it looks like Shadow is following Coco's trend.

I know just how you feel. I was *so* relieved when I found a solution for Coco.Originally Posted by jenkitty
Thanks mschauer.
I am glad to hear that Coco is doing better.I hope that it stays that way forever. Yes I think that Shadow is worse off unfortunately. I am happy to hear that you found something that works. One day I hope to say the same for Shadow! Sometimes I think I have found the answer and then she gets sick again. I love the litte stinker so much, I hope nothing is terribly wrong like with her kidneys or liver but I will soon find out.
Thanks! You too!Have a purrrrfect weekend!

I'm *soo* glad it helped. I know what a relief it is for you!Originally Posted by RaggieKitty
I was going to wait about a week longer to report how the EP Holistic solution is doing for Zoe....but since you're thinking about it, I wanted to say it's worth giving it a shot.
Thanks to mschauer's recommendation in this thread and her answering a few questions from me (Thanks again!), I bought some for Zoe last Saturday to see if it would help with being able to offer her some dry food along with her canned.
She has always gotten really soft stools anytime I tried giving her dry (which she really enjoys) but had "perfect" stools on canned. How backwards is that?
I am happy to say that after just a few days of sprinkiling a bit of the EP solution on her food she started firming up even while getting to eat some dry. I started out slowly on the EP and slowly adding in the dry offerings and while the poop is not "perfect" they are getting more and more formed and not leaving her messy.
So basically this is a long way of saying I am very glad I read this thread and gave it a try....it's making life easier for me(I don't have to chase her down and clean her up) and Zoe(she gets to eat the food she wants).
Don't forget to introduce it slowly. I didn't have to but others have reported that they need to.Originally Posted by river
I think probios has been giving my boys diarrhea. When I first switched to Raw, my boys stool went back to normal. Then for a couple weeks I gave them probios along with Raw in order to also give them canned once in a while later on. Well they started having diarrhea again, I thought maybe this whole thing was due to a parasite or worms but when I stopped the probios their stool went back to normal. I'm going to try Eagle Holistic Transitions or Solutions in a few days and see how that goes.
Try a simplier wet .. at her age she should have BENE bac as it is designed for pre weaningOriginally Posted by tutti_bella
Glad to have found this thread. My 4 week old Lucy Belle have the same loose stool problem mentioned by everyone here. The first few times she pooped, when she was under a week old, her stool was a little firmer but afterwards, while she was still on KMR, her stool became looser. I took her to the VET and he mentioned that while it is loose, there is still form to it and not to worry.
Her loose stool has continued ever since, even after I started KMR and EVO blend, as a way to start introducing her to semi solid food. I read that pumpkin is a great way to firm up her stool and it worked like magic. But once I stopped, the loose stool came back!
I am hoping to try EP Holistic next and do away with EVO since her poop stinks while she's on it. Right now, the only solution is to add pumpkin into her diet.
I just mix with foodOriginally Posted by tutti_bella
Thanks sharky! Will try it ..

Is this better than the syringe one? I don't feel like forcing a syringe down her throat. Do I just fed her BENEBAC alone or mix it with food?
Feeding raw is frequently a solution to loose stools that isn't associated with a medical problem. Some cats don't take to raw though.Originally Posted by saya
both of my kittens have very smelly and very loose stools. According to the vet they are perfectly healthy.
the ONLY thing that helped it a raw diet. as long as they eat nothing but raw they're perfect.
If they get dry food or canned wet = diarhea and vomiting

If you try it be sure to let us know if it helps or not.Originally Posted by Prosperity
I am going to search for this right now.
Yes, Holistic Solution is a probiotic supplement. Have you compared the ingredients with what you are currently using? Different brands have different ingredients. If what you are currently using isn't fully resolving your problem it might help to try one with different ingredients.Originally Posted by Prosperity
I searched it out and it is probiotics. My cats already take probiotics. I may wait a while before I give a different kind a shot.
