Anyone ever heard of "Pet Flora"???

As for the yogurt - you can also buy acidophilus capsules instead.

Thanks for the suggestion Deb. At this point, I am willing to try just about ANYTHING.

I know this is gross, but hey, this is Pet Talk . . . The *smell* of his vomit doesn't bother me so much, it just smells like his food . . . it's the smell of the cleaner that's starting to get to me. YUCK! And maybe the mix of the two together, I don't know . . . anyway, I can smell it all the time . . . hubby says it's just me, where I clean it up all the time . . . he says he can't smell it . . . must be just me.

Poor baby . . . here he comes now . . . wanting to lay on my lap while I work.

it's the smell of the cleaner that's starting to get to me.

Maybe switch to another cleaner? I know what you mean here The smell of a product starts to remind you of the yuck it is cleaning....it seems like it gets into your pores and stays in your nose eh? Have you tried OUT!? That one does not seem to have any odor at all to me. Works great for pee on the tile floor where someone keeps going

The thing is, we have hardwood *laminant* floors and there are only so many products you can use on those . . . know what I mean??? As far as cleaners go anyway. I wonder if OUT is safe for that type of floor? Guess I'll have to go to the store and do some reading!

I hope one of these things will help Brodie. I would definitely try the tablets Debbie suggested or the yogurt first.

What you said about the cleaner smell getting to you made me think of Richard. He can't handle anything Pine Sol smelling because he says he remembers in grade school the kid next to him throwing up everywhere and the janitor cleaning it up with pencil shavings and then mopping it all down with Pine Sol. He almost turns green when he smells it today. LOL.

I hope Brodie gets some relief soon, poor little guy.

Christa ~ I can't remember all the things you've tried, but have you tried human baby food? Meat flavored, of course. When Kuhio was getting very ill, it was the only thing she could keep down. I checked with the vet and he said it was fine. She ate a jar or 2 a day. Those suckers are $1 a jar up here. But, it was definitely worth it not to have to clean up puke all the time and it helped keep her weight up.

Well, Brodie just had his first spoonful of plain full fat yogurt. At first he didn't act like he was going to like it, took a couple of licks and walked away, smacked his lips, went back, took a few more licks . . . and so on . . . he seemed to like it more when he was licking it from Meowmie's finger! Anyway, he ate most of what I gave him. I will keep this up for awhile and see if it will make a difference. If not, I will try something else.

Can't hurt to try.

Let us know how the yogurt works! Poor little Brodie (and poor you!).

[RedHedd]

Aww! Poor Brodie. I do hope the full-fat yogurt works. When Goldie first started getting sick and we didn't know what was wrong, I tried acidophilus - it's available in capsules, tablets or liquid. She would have nothing to do with any of it.

Gary, I even thought of that being the case with Brodie because he does have a tendancy to gobble his food down. I went as far as to feed him BY HAND for a few months just to see if it would make a difference. It didn't. It was fun though . . . I felt like a momma bird, LOL.
