Great, thanks Mags, sounds promising  I'll leave him tonight with normal food and then try him on it tomorrow night if there's no improvement. The problem is giving it to him and not Minsky without Minsky getting jealous  |

I have given poached chicken or fish to Merlin when he was poorly (but actually he was completely off any other food) - as Mags says there is nothing in it that could cause gastro-intestinal problems. Rice is sometimes suggested, but Merlin would not touch that at all. Getting Darcy to eat it without Minsky wanting some may be a practical problem, but why not give it to both of them? I used the very cheap frozen white fish fillets from the supermarket and also the cheapest chicken breast fillets (sorry, not the free-range organic sort). |

Thanks for extra advice Angie, it does make sense! I could give Minsky a wee bit too, although to be honest he's never tried chicken, salmon or ham when we've offered him a morsel as a treat. Strange cat! I'll have to pick some up tomorrow and try it tomorrow night; rice is an interesting one, but I get the feeling Darcy may share Merlin's sentiment towards it I'm just hoping I come home to either an empty litter tray or an almost-normal poo! |

I hope all's well when you get home tonight. I'm very lucky; all of mine have had cast-iron tummies! But if Leia ever develops that problem I wouldn't hesitate to try the poached chicken....not fish, you know how she feels about fish! As to rice, it was always carefully avoided/eaten around by every cat but Dandy, who liked it...but his breed was from Singapore where they may have developed a taste for it! Chin tickles to both boys.... |

Thanks DH! Darcy's stomach has been unphased by anything up until now, in the past it's been Minsky who's had one or two soft poos (nothing like what Darcy has now though). From the way it's going, I get the feeling tonight there'll be another very soft poo, and maybe tomorrow it'll be slightly more normal? I think it might just be a !day by day it gets better"case hopefully! |

Meep Sorry to hear Darcy is still having little problems, it can take a while to get their tummies back to normal, Cactus was quite a few days when she had the dental problems. A friend has just informed me that some of the all-in-one wormers/flea treatments can cause vomiting and the like in cats, I'm using Advocate at the moment and Cactus has had a few vomiting episodes, so I'm not sure if this is the problem. I know in adults it can take 1-2 weeks for a poorly tummy to get better, but I think you are wise to visit the vet on Friday if Darcy is not better. Good luck LorrH |

Hi Mags. There was no bad poo at all yesterday evening when I came home from work, and none this morning. Basically, no poo at all! Which I take to be a very good sign. Up until yesterday morning there were little traces of soft poo now and again, and one large soft poo. But the diarreah, runnyness seems to have stopped entirely so I'm hoping his system's almost back to normal and I'll find a normal poo soon! Fingers crossed for tonight! |

Merlin and I have our paws and fingers crossed for Darcy! Poo watch is very stressful - do hope he's truly back to normal before the weekend. |
