Also - have you tried adding a pinch of bone meal to their food? It's
a band-aid sort of remedy, but it could help firm up their stools and
give them the bonus of slowing the elimination process, thereby helping
them to retain nutrients long enough to do them some good.

Hi Patti,
I just found this email, sorry it's taken so long for me to respond.
As far as you and that sign on your back... Yep, it's there, most
humans aren't aware of it, but our furry friends sure do know a kind
and open heart when they come across one. I'm convinced there's some
sort of pipeline, they tell their friends where to go! Go ahead and
complain/whine, we all understand. Bless you for all you do.
About Taylor and Moonshadow's stools... One thing I've found that
helps with diarrhea is making sure you're feeding a consistent diet. I
had switched Gypsy to raw and it saved her life. She had a relapse
after getting into Grace's food and then refused raw. After I finally
got her eating again, I put her on cooked turkey and it did help her.
IBD symptoms are so frustrating, I have tried so many things. You
already know about homeopathics, I've seen you post about Bioplasma,
that's always a good support rx. Hideyo has had success with Sulphur,
Gypsy responded to Phosphorus, you've tried Ars album, how about China,
(Cinchona officinalis)? I'd start with 6c doses and use a dosing
method of one pellet dissolved in 2 to 4 oz amber bottles, 1/2 dropper
at a time every hour up to 4 doses, (then evaluate to see if their
"mentals"/symptoms seem improved). There are so many variables, why
don't you contact my friend Darla, (homeopathic practitioner), http://www.kitsnk9s.com/Kitsnk9sHome.htm
she'll be able to advise you a whole lot better than me. I would avoid
the pred/met route if at all possible. Sometimes these measures are
necessary, but they aren't supportive of the body's "vital force". I'd
also stay away from the prescription diets, we all know what junk they
usually are. Whatever you do, I'd keep up the probiotics, they can
only help. Did you know that you can add the homeopathics to goat's
milk, or yogurt? This is the only way I can get my once feral Gypsy
dosed. I was really concerned about feeding her dairy, but she seems
to have adjusted to it, and I'm pleased she's getting another source of
calcium. There was a point that warmed goat's milk was all she'd eat.
My AC said she liked the way it felt "going in and down". Those poor
little sprites of yours are in my thoughts and prayers, they sure have
been through a lot. Thank goodness they found their way to you!
Much love to you my dear, hang in there!
