Thanks everyone. I sure hope that this will help Starr. I have noticed that he does better on the dry than on the wet food. The Natural Balance wet doesn't have any rice in it and I've only been using it sparingly when I've been adding the foriflora which is supposed to help boost his immune system and give him the good bacteria that he needs.

Pilling him is a battle but luckliy he only takes 1/4 of a pill so it's very tiny and not hard for him to swallow. I think I may just try feeding only dry food for a while because after he eats some of the wet food he seems to have runny diarrhea.

Debbie, Since I live in a condo and I'm on the second floor, I can only have hard floors in my kitchen and bathrooms so yes the rest of my place is carpeted. I wouldn't think that dust mites would cause diarrhea though. Starr does always seem to have eye crusties and this may be due to allergies. Sunny also has them. Please continue to keep Starr in your thoughts and prayers. I hope to see an improvement by the end of the week.
