I'm sorry that Jasper is still not feeling well. I know how frustrating and messy the chronic kitty diarrhea can be! I hope the vet can get to the bottom of this all soon!! (no pun intended)

Oh Jen, How did I miss this up til now? I'm so sorry to hear this about your handsome boy. Many prayers for you and him coming your way.
Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that Jasper isn't improving.:( How long has he been on the pred? I know it took Starr at least several days to show an improvement but he started out on higher doseage and he was also on a food for allergies.
I also noticed that when Starr would eat wet food that his diarrhea would become worse. My vet said it's because his colon couldn't absorb the liquid like it should so I kept Starr on dry food only until he started his herbal supplements. I sure hope that it isn't cancer and that Jasper will start feeling well again soon. He continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Poor Jasper. He has not been getting better. He had a depo shot to try to firm up the diarrhea, but it isn't working. And on top of everything, he had a bit of a cold/congestion.
We are going to try yet another medication. It is one that helped Lucas (for while) when he was having the diarrhea problem.
Jasper is such a love bug (actually, we call he PESTY WESTY, because he is so demanding of attention) and to see him sick and lethargic is heartbraking.
were the cats recently vaccinated with a modified live vaccine?
Jen I just now came across this. My prayers are with you and Jasper. Cyber hugs to you both.
Hope he starts to heal soon!

Prayers sent!
Prayers that he gets better SOON - poor widdle guy! :(
Now he's not eating. :( I know that it is the "cold" and congestion, but the poor skinny guy can't afford to lose any weight.
Jenn? no offence have you tried Nutri-cal? when Io got so sick I used it with him. I know how hard this is, and I right now don't want to come off as giving advice to one I look up to.
my thoughts and prayers still. cmon Jasper pull through this!
Not yet. It is actually only 2 meals (this AM and PM) that he did not eat. But I have it on hand, and THANK YOU for the reminder!Quote:
