I hope Pearl's appointment had good news. That was great the vet was able to get you guys in today - I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way while I keep checking back on the results of the visit.

Thanks so much Katherine. I had to go back to work after the vet visit and I got home very late, had to feed my cats and then myself so I was too tired to get on the computer and update everyone last night.

The good news is that Pearl's ultrasound is normal and everything looks great. My vet did see some more loose stools in her colon so she told me to buy some Peptobismol and give a 1ml of it once a day for the next 3 days. Hopefully this will help firm up her stools and then keep them firm after that. The bad news is we don't know what's causing this and if she continues to have diarrhea we're back to square one. Please keep the prayers and positive vibes coming. Thanks.

This morning it looked like her stools were semi-formed so I hope that this means that the Peptobismol is working and she'll continue to improve.

More hopeful news than not there I think, which is good to read. Prayers and positive thoughts for your beautiful little girl are continuing.

Tonight when I cleaned out the litter boxes I found a big flat pancake instead of a big tootsie roll. This means that poor Pearl is still having diarrhea.

Oh,no. Prayers continuing.

Would sprinkling Forti Flora on Pearl's food help w/the diarrhea? That's what I would use for my Puddy and it kept her regular and firm.

Thanks Chris.

I have a similar product called Primal Defense that I've been giving to Starr. Unfortunately I need to nix it with canned food or baby food to get my cats to eat it. I tried this on Pearl and it made her worse instead of better. Sky also doesn't do well on it but I'm now giving it to all of my other cats.

Last night Pearl not only had liquid diarrhea again but she also had blood in it. I e-mailed both my regular vet and holistic vet about this but I haven't heard anything back yet. My regular doesn't work again until tomorrow. I'm at my wits end and I don't know what to do next. Please keep the prayers and positive vibes coming. Thanks.
