Hello all,
I introduced myself last night here...
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...1&page=1&pp=10
Where I explained about me and my life and kitties.
I am coming to you here at the Health forum because the kitten we rescued is still having problems with diarrhea.
She is wonderfully fine other wise, eats, drinks, plays, sleeps, loves to be pet, purrs the loudest of any cat I have ever heard.
I have been giving her Rescue Remedy, that helped with her initial stress of being brought inside. I started her on some non-dairy pro-biotics on Friday. I would have thought they would have kicked in by now.
When she first got here, she was having a VERY hard time making it to the littler box. Weather or not she just couldn't make it there due to the diarrhea, which was pretty explosive the first day, (she meowed at me when I was holding her, jumped out of my arms and squirted me with her tiny butt on her way down) This kind of thing hasn't happened since I started with the pro-biotics. She has a BM 3 or 4 times a day.
The problem is, about once a day, she has them on the carpet, in the same area she had them the first day, 2 feet or even inches from the littler box I put there. I sprayed the spots where she pooped before, they shouldn't smell like her. These are very runny. But sometimes look like they are beginning to firm up towards the last of the BM.
I want to take her to the vet. My BF won't let me, he doesn't want to spend the money on a cat that we might not keep. Basically, he wants her to stop pooping on the floor....as soon as she proves herself litter trainable, he feels she would be worth keeping. I am so frustrated with him. Our other cat loves her to death.
Could you all help me with OTC remedies for diarrhea? And ideas on how to keep her poo in the litter box? I feel he is on his last leg with finding brown surprises around his desk. A vet tech friend of mine suggested kaopectate, but that has been reformulated and contains a cousin to aspirin. I don't want to risk that.
Help me keep this sweet baby. Thanks Ya'll
Kristin
