Re: Very worried about Teddy


The antibiotics I have been given are called Clavaseptin Palatable Tablets, and the probiotic is called Promax Paste. Does anyone have any experience of using these and their effectiveness? Also gave him some Hills i.d, he couldn't get it down his little neck quickly enough!

Also spoke to my friend about the possibility of Teddy being PTS, she told me if theat was to happen I should give him back to her and she'd give him back to her friend. NOT A CHANCE! I'd rather he was humanely and lovingly PTS than return him to where he came from. The receptionist in the vets also said that if it turns out to be a chronic illness and I can't afford it any longer, then she will take him. I hope and pray it doesn't come to either of these ends, and that my baby will recover from this and finally be settled.

Re: Very worried about Teddy


Alex, don't lose hope for Teddy I am sure if something can be done for him then it will be happen.

Be strong and try and be positive.

Is it possible that he is allergic to something in the food?

Good thinking Emma. Or maybe just allergic to something other than food (cleaning products, other cats, etc etc).

Re: Very worried about Teddy


i don't know to be honest. When we first got him, he had the runs, so I starved him for a few days and then fed him on chicken and rice for a few days, when I started to put him back onto the RC kitten (which I had been given with him) he had diarrhea again, so I starved him again and fed him chicken again. This time I tried him on HiLife which really helped and he started to do normal poos (so he has manged to do some). When I let him downstairs to mix with Cooper and Broxi, he and Cooper started to steal out of each others bowls, so I ended up with 2 kittens with diarrhea. Coopers cleared up very quickly, but Teddys hasn't stopped since, no matter what food we've tried this time. I'm hoping this Hills i.d might make a difference along with the antibiotics, but I've got to the last hope saloon here.

Re: Very worried about Teddy


hmmm interesting that HiLife helped a lot, have you tried him on just that food?? I believe Natures Menu is very similar to HiLife and you can buy it in Tescos.

Well perhaps see how the Hill's go.

Re: Very worried about Teddy


Promax paste is excellent! Porsha has been on a new antibiotic and promax paste since she saw the vet the other day and she has had two days of normal poos now The first normal poos since I got her about 2 months ago and her diarrhoea at times has been so bad she has been incontinent Don't give up hope as I have been in your position, wondering what the future holds and feeling sheer desperation.

Fingers crossed for you and Teddy too...let us know how you get on

Re: Very worried about Teddy


Fran, I'm so pleased you are beginning to see some results in Porsha's treatment.......I'm sure that will give some hope to Alex too.

I hope Porsha continues to improve (and we can have some more piccies please)

Good luck to both of you.....

Re: Very worried about Teddy


Fran, you have no idea how much hope that has just given me (actually you probably do). What food do you have Porsha on? And how long after giving her the promax and antibiotic did you start to see results? Alex x
