@stephanietx do you notice the proviable is strong enough for your kitty and helps? I always wonder about giving a stronger human grade probiotic like renew life but get so scared to give him new stuff

@catsknowme OH ok so you make the concoction and then you literally mix it in with their wet food. Is slippery elm also effective if I make the paste a little at a time? I don’t make it on the stove I usually just mix 1/4 teaspoon with 1/2 teaspoon of cold water and syringe it right before his...

@catsknowme thanks for the Advice! Do you ever see a difference in putting the powder in their food versus just syringing it? Or do you not put the powder in their food, you put the gruel/paste that you make in their food? I still can’t figure out if I’m just supposed to sprinkle the powder in...

Hey guys this post will have a lot of questions but I have been mentally preparing myself for my kitties clostridium to return after treatment since that seems to be a pretty common trend and I have a feeling my boy has dysbiosis. For anyone who has kitties who had clostridium regrow or their...

@dan32 ah ok so you don’t believe they really had perfect torpedo poops while on the metro? Just trying to prepare myself for a relapse after the meds, I’m sure the metro is masking whatever is going on in my kitties, I don’t even know if I should change their diet since they both eat...

Just from Petsmart! But I threw it away and went to buy it from another pet store in town. Not sure if anything is wrong with the fancy feast, but my boy may have developed an allergy to it after eating it over a year, seems weird after being so good on it, but I guess it’s possible. Still not...

@dan32 okay thanks for the info, nervous for the meds to be over for my kitties. But your cats did have totally normal Poops while on the metro yes or were they still soft? Glad they are doing better:) it’s not fun to have no idea what’s happening to your pets

@dan32 also when your cats were on the metro we’re you feeding them the primal the whole time? Or did you switch to wellness early on in the meds? Curious if a cats diarreha can clear up on the meds if what’s causing it is the food and the continue to eat that food on the meds... And did you...

@dan32 thats disappointing that the metro worked and bad stools came back a few days after, that makes me worried that my cats will relapse, we end the metro on Monday and both are pooping normally as of now. When the vet did a fecal sample did you have it sent off to do a PCR fecal so that...

hey guys just a short question, have any of your cats ever had clostridium over growth, and if so, did your other cats get sick from it? The vet tells me it is not contagious but both my cats got sick suddenly and one has clostridum, and something else could’ve gotten my other cat sick, but just...

I do leave my wet food out for about 8 hours when I am at work but have been doing that for three years with no issues so I don’t think that’s what it is? Also they got sick over the weekend and I don’t leave it out long since I’m home on the weekends. It may not be the fancy feast but I have...

Thanks for the responses! So only one of my cats was diagnosed with clostridium via a fecal test that was sent off to some lab. The vet doesn’t seem concerned at all but I just have NO clue how he would’ve gotten this because he had no change to anything, diet or environment. Obviously bacteria...

hey everyone! I just have a random question. Both of my kitties became sick within 24 hours of each other and diagnosed with clostridium overgrowth( a bacteria). Now my question is, both of my cats eat different things. My little boy eats fancy feast classic pates only( he has some food...

Honestly guys I’m not sure but I’m starting to get freaked out on fancy feast, they are saying absolutely nothing has changed when I call but I wonder if sourcing has changed or if something is tainted. My cat eats all the last classic pates and then suddenly got sick and I’ve been reading...

No I do not as I know all of those have fish in them and he can’t tolerate fish! I’ve been feeding him the four same flavors over a year now, so that’s why I’m hoping whatever got them sick has nothing to do with the food
