Lucas and diarrhea.

[jenluckenbach]

OK, it is now a few hours later and we have poop. And it's a bit stiffer. Now, mind you, when you orignally have flat, liquid puddles of poop it does not take a whole lot to look better.
Tonight I added a fiber capsule. Will it make it even better?

I've heard of pumkin helping with diarrhea discussed on PT before.(don't
remember who recommended it) I sure hope this continues to help Lucas.
Seems like you've tried just about everything else.Best of luck.

Glad to hear there is improvement. Maybe wait another 12 hours or so before adding anything else to the mix? Less is better....

HUGS to you and Lucas!

The Sad Thing Is Taht Lucas Does Not Like Being A Dirty Cat, Anymore Than You Like It.
Cats Are So Clean That They Just Hate Messing On Themeselves And This Is Hurting Lucas As Much As It Is You, Jen.

Poor Lucas, and you. I'm glad to hear the pumpkin may be helping!!!! Lets hear it for fiber! Makes me think of a skit I saw on Saturday Night Live in the 80s. It was a parody of the song "Give me Fever" instead it was "Give Me Fiber". It went, "Give me fiber, bulk and ruffage, fiber cause I want to feel right". The back up singers were sweeping with brooms. It was hysterical.

Sorry to get off topic! Now that is going to be stuck in my head.

Poor Lucas! I hope the pumpkin will help a bit. Good that he likes it.

And it's a good thing that apart from the loose stool, he seems to be doing fine.

(((HUGS))) to you and Lucas,

Jen, I was wondering how the pumpkin and fiber diet was working for Lucas now that it's been a few days?

Ever since we moved CJ is back to the liquid diarrhea, even with his $30.00 a bag food. If I give him pred it stiffens up a little, but I'd have to go back to 1 every other day to make it consistently good, and I'd really rather not do that unless absolutely necessary.

The problem with CJ and the pumpkin/fiber diet is he is extremely hard to pill and he doesn't like pumpkin. His being hard to pill makes it hard to get the pred. in him also. Poor little guy, I just wish there was something I could do for him that wouldn't traumatize him in the process.
