Lucas (May 8, 2006)

Lucas is heading to the vet today. The liquid diarrhea is back and he is starting to become bored with his special food. His fur still looks healthy and shiny and he seem OK for the most part, but I know constant diarrhea cannot be fun. (I sure know the clean up part is NOT fun!)

I am also going to have them run a urinalysis. I fear crystals or infection. I fear that his special food for this intestinal problem has caused his crystals to come back (originally he was on urinary food after a blockage)

I KNOW the vet is going to tell me the same thing.......his IBS will cause him good days and bad days, but maybe, just maybe there IS something else to do for him.

Poor Lucas, he'll be in our prayers.

I have that IBS and it is NOT fun! Poor kitty! I can not believe they have this too!

[jenluckenbach]

Lucas' bladder was not full enough to get urine, so he is spending a few hours at the vet office. The feeling is that if he is having bladder issues this might cause the diarrhea to flare up.

We may also be trying yet another different food.

I'll let you know later when I know something. Thanks for thinking about my boy.

Praayers and positives thoughts on the way Jen, for your precious Lucas.

I tried aloe gel on a cat....they don't like the taste, but it's something you smear on their paws or muzzle.

It really helped one cat I worked with at the kennel.

Make sure the container does not say "For External use Only"

If you know a Herbalife person, there are small sample packs that will last Lucas a few days. Just a glob on the end of the finger.

Heals the skin of the intestine like aloe heals external skin.

Good luck with your baby!
