The cat had constant diahrrea, and whined constantly. I thought he was just needy and had a delicate stoman. Finally, a new vet had the solution. It was a yeast infection. Two days on ear meds for that, and the loose poos stopped completely and he was a happy cat. <BR/><BR/>For a good year, until he died of stomach cancer. Didn't see THAT coming. But at least his ears felt good!Andrastehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17995089221441792487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-82253787230382888992007-02-20T22:05:00.000-08:002007-02-20T22:05:00.000-08:00Ooh, I appear to be Nick at the mo.Unsure why.But ...Ooh, I appear to be Nick at the mo.<BR/>Unsure why.<BR/>But that's who Nick is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21067023.post-21843878561700095952007-02-20T14:31:00.000-08:002007-02-20T14:31:00.000-08:00Don't feel bad, FN - you didn't know.
