A Mr Meow update, 8-23-08 w/photo

[Emeraldgreen]

Just to recap, Mr Meow's medicine (cyclosporine) has been reduced from every day to once every 7 days (over the past 7 months).

As of 8-10-08 he had some soft stool (I noticed it haning on his furry butt ) And a slight decrease in appetite.

Today he had a totally liquid poop (in the box, thank heaven), so off to the vet.

Well, he gained weight (he is 15 pounds and some, now). And the vet thinks he loos good, no swollen glands ot tenderness upon palpation. So we are going to give him some anti-diarrhea meds (endosorb) with some "good bacteria" (lactobacillus acidophilus) and continue with the cyclosporine at once a week.

If he doesn't "firm up" by the end of the week, we might try a little pred and might need to increase the cyclosporine again.

But otherwise, he is doing great. The vet LOVES him, says he is the most gorgeous cat that comes into the practice.

15 pounds, that's great! I'm glad he is holding his weight and gaining! I've got to get some of this Forti-Flora or the herbal stuff that Starr is on for Jimmy. Is the Forti-Flora available without a prescription Jen?

I am unsure. I got it at the vet last time.
