    Thank you for the insight, how long did you have to use the FMT pills? From what I have read it is once a day?

    THank you so much for the reply. I split a 5 bill CFU pill twice a day, can I keep this up for a couple weeks? I have no issues pilling him, I wonder if that doesnt work if I should try the fecal pill. How long did you give that pill for to clear up your kitty's issue?

    Hello, my rescue cat has had soft stools since we got him a 6 weeks ago. He had tape worms we cured and a recent fecal PCR test shows positive for Feline Corona and Clostridium perfringens with a high level of alphatoxin gene. He did a second round of Metronidazole and i have been giving him S...

    hepatic lipidosis & hospice scheduled tomorrow - is it time to stop force feeding or is there hope still??

    I am so sorry for your loss. I lost sweet Dexter as well. The necropsy ended up showing it was in fact liver lymphoma. Putting him to sleep was so peaceful but for sure the hardest thing to do. But like you said the silver lining is the trust that developed over the last couple months of trying...

    End of life care: Liver disease and fluid in the lungs?

    I had to say goodbye to my sweet boy last night. He showed me he had enough, he kept laying in his litter box head pressing. He was peeing and pooping normally, it was to show me he was done. He would lay there pressing his head against the side. I said no more sweet boy. I picked him up and...

    End of life care: Liver disease and fluid in the lungs?

    Spoke to the vet today, doesn’t seem like there is anything left to try for the poor guy. After two months he should have responded to the medications and she feels it must be some sort of cancer. I’m going to keep him on the steroids and zofran to keep him comfortable. He doesn’t seem to be...

    End of life care: Liver disease and fluid in the lungs?

    Sorry for the late reply, I had to stop the Zentonil because he would throw it up combined with the antibiotic. He just finished 10 days of the antibiotic and it made him lose his appetite so I’m going to stop it and start giving him the Zentonil. He has been on prednisolone the past 6 weeks and...

    Thank you, ya his breathing hasn’t changed and he isn’t struggling. He also runs in the back yard but no indication of breathing issues so that is comforting at least

    End of life care: Liver disease and fluid in the lungs?

    Hi, he is still doing ok actually. He’s sick but he hasn’t gotten worse in terms of his comfort or demeanor. His blood work came back with some more issues as is sdma was high now. His ultrasound showed one of his lung lobes had collapsed but his effusion has lessened and there are no ascites in...

    Well he made it to his birthday and the steroids seem to have made him more like himself. He enjoyed suntanning today, hope this keeps up its nice to see him so comfortable. On a side note because I’m feeding him the recovery diet and not his usually urinary s/o, is there anything I can put in...

    Thank you so much for all your help and thoughts, not sure what the heck he has. I’m thinking lymphoma? But maybe it is an infection. Fingers crossed.

    End of life care: Liver disease and fluid in the lungs?

    Just wanted to update on Dex, so his heart ultrasound came back all clear (so not sure about the fluid around the lungs it’s clearly connected to the other issues). His ultrasound shows his liver swollen, part of his intestine and a swollen lymph node. Possibly lymphoma or they think maybe...
