Have you tried adding some acidophilus(to maintain healthy GI flora) to their food?? Whenever a cat goes on an antibiotic, I add this and it helps to keep things becoming loose. It is a nurse thing....Sandra

No I haven't, I haven't even heard of it. Is it just a supplement that I could get a health food store or the like?
Would it help in her case, where she had diarrhea BEFORE being put on antibiotics?

The L. acidophilus is a good idea. You can probably find it as a supplement (a probiotic), or simply buy yoghurt (sorry I have no advice for a brand because I don't know what is available in the US) that contains L. acidophilus or other probiotics. If the yoghurt is not sweet and fat, it can only be good for cat health (and human too)

acidophilus is available at the health food stores. It MIGHT not be a good idea to give the cat yogurt, that might upset the GI tract even more! I open the capsule and mix it in the wet food. You can get a pill version, if you do not use wet food, it is small enough to pop down a cat! Sandra

I forgot!! I have given my cats PLAIN yogurt in the past!!! They LOVE the whole milk organic kind. They are rather fond of the cream on top!!! But they are healthy and not having any diarrhea. NO FLAVOURED YOGURT!! Sandra
