Just an FYI, I don't know about the strength of what they put in the kaopectate, but baby aspirin is ok for kitties. One every 3 days only though. Any more than that and it can build up in their system and become toxic. Also, I would only reccommend the St Joseph's brand. There is another brand that I can't remember the name of, it was either baby tylenol or baby ibuprofen or something, that cats cannot tolerate and it will kill them. But plain old St Joseph's baby aspirin (81 mg) once every 3 days is ok to give to kitties. However, another vet told me that the benefits they receive from it are questionable so he did not recommend it for cats with chronic renal failure because it does more damage to the kidneys than it helps.
Anyway, so it could be that if you give them kaopectate too many days in a row, there is now too much aspirin in it, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
Thanks for the update Debbie.
