Re: question about antibiotics and diarrhea

Yes.  And other causes.  It is a fiber that seems to firm the BM.  It does not seem rational but both the A/vet and the regular vets recommend the added fiber in small amounts--increasing until it works.  Apparently it absorbs fluid.  I don't have to understand it but I do know it works.  I just wish I could explain it.  Sorry.                                                               If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures                                                  from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who                                                  will deal likewise with their fellow man.                                                                   St. Francis ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 4:23 PM Subject: Re: question about antibiotics and diarrhea Did it help with diarrhea caused by antibiotics?   In a message dated 10/29/2006 2:38:18 P.M.
