Here I was, already for a whooo hoooo, when I read your second uppydate.

I may be in the minority here, but I really believe that for all the bad rap pred. gets, it really does more good than harm.....at least in the case of the many times I've used it. Peanut was on it for years a few years ago - 1/2 one every other day - and she lived to be 18 1/2. Also, I don't think the "bad ingredients" in the Z/D will do Starr any harm at all. T & P were both on Science Diet foods their entire lives, and they both lived to be 18 1/2. CJ & R are now both on it now too, and they are both as healthy as can be.

Tracey, I don't mean to make light of your misgivings about Starr's treatment, but I really don't think you have anything to worry about....unless he did pick up a few sniffles from Sunny that is.

Hugs to you because I know how frustrated you must be by Starr's continuing diarrhea, and gentle smoochies to Starr with hopes for both of you that a viable solution is found real soon.
