another thought: my alternative vet uses apple
pectin and my regular vets use Metamucil....unflavored. Both have worked
for my critters.

Subject: Re: Question on diarrhea
(homeopathics)
Gypsy just used the litterbox behind me in the bathroom.
I heard the tell tale sound of diarrhea, and figured it must be bad
news. When I went to check, there was some formed, some
liquid. It may have to do with the bone meal, that seems to be the
single variable that is making a difference. Of course, we both know
I can be wrong! I did remember, just now, that the raw diet that I
credit with saving Gypsy's life, (duck muscle meat and salmon), stopped
her constant "drippy faucet", but it wasn't until I started her on barf,
(grinding the duck with bones, organ meat, and sups), that she started to
have firmed stools. N

Using
homeopathics is such an individual thing. Hideyo has had great success
with Sulphur and it didn't help Gypsy at all. Patti wrote about using
BioPlasma, (a combination of 12 cell salt remedies), that helps with
nutrient absorption, Gypsy does seem to respond favorably to that.
We've had her on so many different things trying to narrow it down, but I
think what she did best on was a combination of Phosphorus, Arsenicum Album,
and China, (also called Cinchona Officinalis). I would strongly
suggest consulting with Darla http://www.kitsnk9s.com/Kitsnk9sHome.htm for
more specific remedies that might help Ginger. She has you fill out an
extensive questionnaire to determine your animal's physical and emotional
profile and what might best help them.
I'm afraid I spoke too soon
about Gypsy's diarrhea resolving. There was liquid stool in the
litterbox this morning, so we've had another setback. There are so
many darn variables it's hard to tell what causes her to improve and what is
detrimental. She is, however, so very much improved overall.
Something is working. I was at the point of considering pts, and now I
wouldn't dream of it. Let us know what you decide to do for Lucy and
certainly let me know if anything you try seems to
help. Nina
Nina,
She has been off the antibiotics for days now. Which
homeopathic remedies do you feel helped Gypsy?
Thanks,
Michelle
