    Dear Ollie,

    Hey Mr. Ollie butt. It has been exactly two years today since you showed up on the porch, and one month today since you had to leave us. I miss you every day and I still haven't found it in me to move most of your things. I think I'm afraid of the empty space they'll leave behind. The last...

    Thanks so much for the kind words. It means a lot.

    Can slippery elm bark be given within less than two hours of s. boulardii or other probiotics?

    Thanks to you both. I'm very sorry to say we lost him last night. He took a turn for the worse and the vet said he was too sick to recover. I'm heartbroken. He was the sweetest little guy and I already miss him so much.

    Can slippery elm bark be given within less than two hours of s. boulardii or other probiotics?

    Thanks, that thread has loads of ideas, I'll check it out! He is currently on transdermal mirataz, which has helped a little. but he still isn't to the point where he's eating enough to gain weight. he used to eat a whole can at once, now if he is in the mood to eat he just has one or two...

    Can slippery elm bark be given within less than two hours of s. boulardii or other probiotics?

    Thanks, until I hear otherwise I'm going to try to keep the two hour window before and after the slippery elm bark, but it would be much easier if this weren't necessary since both have to be given more than once per day and it is so hard to get this guy to eat sometimes. Thanks again for the reply!

    Can slippery elm bark be given within less than two hours of s. boulardii or other probiotics?

    I read that slippery elm can't be taken within two hours of other meds. Would this include probiotics? Trying to use the s. boulardii to stop diarrhea, want to try slippery elm bark to potentially help with soothing GI issues, constipation, reducing potential nausea (and as a result maybe...

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    I didn't think of that. I don't have any here but I should probably get some since it seems to have so many uses.

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    Thanks for that link. I've been trying to wipe off his butt here and there (which he hates so I haven't been able to do a thorough job). I did try to trim a little hair away and he's been trying to clean his own butt too-it's just that the diarrhea dripping seems to be constant and hard to keep...

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    He seems to be doing relatively better today, he's eating more but is still doing his "I don't feel well" things like hiding under my bed. He also pooped outside the litterbox twice but it was sort of in between diarrhea and formed stools, which is better than just liquid I guess? His butt is...

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    Thanks so much everyone. I appreciate you all.

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    Thanks so much. I'll try the chicken and rice, he's had it before and it's worth a shot. Would hydra care be the same as pedialyte? I have some of that at home. I will try to talk to the vet again, poor guy has been there so much lately. He's never seemed to care for baby food but maybe putting...

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    UGH. I gave him half a capsule of Proviable DC yesterday and today he is doing awful. He wouldn't eat at all this morning. Had diarrhea all over in and out of the litterbox. Now he's curled up in a tiny ball with lots of gas and diarrhea leaking out of his butt. I feel so bad for him. If anyone...

    Could Methamizole cause lack of appetite 1 month after starting it?

    Yes, his energy level seemed to have dropped a lot. I stopped the methimazole for now and he's currently on Mirataz and a steroid and his appetite is slowly improving. Still needs to eat more though but I'm trying to be patient. Glad to hear your kitty is feeling better.

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    Thanks furballsmom. Got a text back saying it would be okay to use probiotics so I'm going to give it a shot and cross my fingers.

    Probiotic at the same time as prednisolone?

    I'm reading some conflicting information and I'm not sure what to make of it. My cat has been through a lot the past three months. I won't list everything here for the sake of brevity but he was on different antibiotics twice since mid July. He has had diarrhea for probably about a month. He...

    Could Methamizole cause lack of appetite 1 month after starting it?

    That does help. If the vet doesn't suggest stopping for a week, I'll bring it up. Thanks again.

    Could Methamizole cause lack of appetite 1 month after starting it?

    That makes sense. Would you happen to know if it would be faster getting out of his system than in? Another month of this would be rough.
