Thanks for asking.:) Pearl's doing great but I haven't actually seen her poop in the box for quite a while now. Sky's poops are still a little on the mushy side and sometimes have a little blood in them.:( I hope that in time they'll improve. My vet said to just wait and see what happens since he didn't do well on the Fortiflora. Sky eats well and acts normally so I'm not too worried about him. Thanks again everyone.:)Quote:

Thanks.:) Yes, I have a lot of them but none of them are very recent. I'll have to post them later because I need to go to work. If you look in the cat breeds section and go to the thread about "Possible Lynx Point Siamese" then you'll see some pictures of her there along with many other gorgeous meezers.:)Quote:

Thanks.:) Pearl's doing just fine and I've seen her making some nice firm stools in the litter box.:) Sky is still making mushy stools with some blood in them.:( He has his annual vet exam on June 14th so I'll most likely be bringing in a stool sample that day too. Ziggy will also be going in with him for her annual exam as well. I just hope that everything goes well.Quote:

Thanks for asking. Pearl seems to be doing fine now:) but Sky is still having diarrhea and sometimes it'll have blood in it.:( I took both Sky and Ziggy in for their annual exams on Sun. but I wasn't able to bring in a stool sample from Sky until this morning. I never saw him going until very late last night and then this morning.;)Quote:

She thinks that my herd, that's what she calls my 6 cats, is carrying the same parasite that Pearl had. She said it's very hard to get rid of and usually purebred cats have this but all of my cats are mixed breeds. She'll be on vacation in about 1 week so I don't know if I'll have to wait until she gets back for results or not. She usually e-mails the results. I just want everyone to be happy and healthy.:)
Sky only weighs a little over 12lbs now and he's lost some weight since last year. Ziggy is a little over 14lbs:eek:. There's nothing little about my baby girl. Other than Sky's current problem they both checked out fine.:)
prayers for your sweet Sky and Ziggy to get well soon!
Thanks.:) Ziggy is fine.:)Quote:

Now I'm to give Sky 5mg of pred once a day for the next 4 days to see if this will help firm up his stools. Then I need to e-mail my vet to let her know if it's helping him or not. If not then I don't know what we'll do next. The Fortiflora helped Pearl but it made Sky sick so I can't use this on Sky. I just want him to get back to normal again.
