Oh this is WONDERFUL news!!!!!
Ramping up the vibes for this sweetie! He's got some fight and a reason to try now.and more vibes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its true, severe infections usually need several rounds of deworming. And or a combination of a couple different dewormers.
If his diarrhea doesn't completely clear up by today, call your vet and ask for another de-wormer medication. There are different types of parasites that are targeted by different de-wormers. The last cat I took in had severe parasites and was squirting out diarrhea for a few weeks. He was put on liquid panacur for 3 days along with Metronidazole for the diarrhea for 5 days. Then he was given a dose of Drontal, a different de-wormer, and another round of Metronidazole for 7 days. Since the vet already saw your cat, s/he won't charge you for another office visit but will simply have you come in to purchase the medicine (the Drontal is only about 7 dollars). It took all that to clear up my cat's parasites ( plus a few rounds of Frontline and Revolution to get rid of the fleas). Once the diarrhea completely stops, then your kitty will be able to respond to the fluids and food. Good luck!
He is in quite the state at this point, so any medications/dewormers will be likely spaced so his system doesn't have added stress of processing them as well. His sleeping is good, it's mind and body working in sync to focus on healing.

But your vet will surely know this, and when exactly its best to take the next round. Typically, they shold be taken some time apart.
So follow MsAimees advice, phone himher and ask.

S boulardii often seems like a miracle :lol3: , but it can take a few days to do its job....his diarrhea continues to clear. He had some loose stool a couple of times yesterday, but it wasn't liquid like before. I didn't have to change out his bedding all night!
First of all, bless you @carrots33 for taking care of this helpless creature in need. Some thoughts about getting him to eat...How much? It's so traumatic for him to be force fed constantly, I'd like to keep it at a minimum.
Me too. Fingers and toes crossed!
Following along and hoping for the best.
