Hello Everyone,
One of cats has had this problem of chronic diarrhea for quite some time now. He's 15 months old, and within the last year he's had diarrhea 5 times. It happens every two or three months. We love him, but we don't know what else to do. We've been to 2 vets. The 1st took some x-rays and gave us some clavamox(sp?) to help with the symptom. The second(whom we just saw today) sent us home with Metronidazole pills and some Amoxicillin. He did a series of blood tests and about 300 usd later, told us our kittie had elevated liver something that was causing some imflamation of the bowls. I asked if this would explain why the situation continues to repeat itself every 2 to 3 months, and was told "maybe". The vet asked if he'd been eating any plants or getting into pesticides, neither of which we keep since we live in an apartment and plantless at current. Does this situation sound familiar to anyone here? We love both our kitties, but everytime this happens, we edge closer and closer to getting rid of him, and we don't want to do this (our two are brothers). I'm skeptical, to say the least, that the meds will help our kittie in the long run. We're completely cluesless!
Any insights are welcome
