    I'm sorry that Jasper is still not feeling well. I know how frustrating and messy the chronic kitty diarrhea can be! I hope the vet can get to the bottom of this all soon!! (no pun intended)

    tee hee.

    Well, I added some powdered metamucil (fiber) to his food tonight. And the pred (steroid) must be working on his appetite, because he ate it all. The fiber will not fix his underlying problem, but it might help to firm him up. *fingers crossed*

    Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that Jasper isn't improving. How long has he been on the pred? I know it took Starr at least several days to show an improvement but he started out on higher doseage and he was also on a food for allergies.
    I also noticed that when Starr would eat wet food that his diarrhea would become worse. My vet said it's because his colon couldn't absorb the liquid like it should so I kept Starr on dry food only until he started his herbal supplements. I sure hope that it isn't cancer and that Jasper will start feeling well again soon. He continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers.

    Poor Jasper. He has not been getting better. He had a depo shot to try to firm up the diarrhea, but it isn't working. And on top of everything, he had a bit of a cold/congestion.

    We are going to try yet another medication. It is one that helped Lucas (for while) when he was having the diarrhea problem.

    Jasper is such a love bug (actually, we call he PESTY WESTY, because he is so demanding of attention) and to see him sick and lethargic is heartbraking.

    Now he's not eating. I know that it is the "cold" and congestion, but the poor skinny guy can't afford to lose any weight.

    Not yet. It is actually only 2 meals (this AM and PM) that he did not eat. But I have it on hand, and THANK YOU for the reminder!
