Where can I get Metamucil/psyllium from? Mylo has been eating Medi-Cal
hypoallergenic gastro for over a week now because of his diarrhea and
internal problems. He has had the diarrhea since Christmas time. He has had
to get IV fluids and injections a few times as well.

Everyone on this list is more familiar with FeLV than I am. However,
diarrhea can have numerous causes including food allergies (I am very
familiar with that from the Royal Princess Kitty Katt) and, despite what
many vets believe, they can be developed at any age. Kitty was almost 13
when we started having food allergy problems. If you have not tried adding
Metamucil/psyllium (bad spelling) to Mylo's food you should consider it.
You may want to consult an alternative vet too. Dixie Louise sees her
regular vets and an alternative vet.
Good luck.

Thanks for your email. My vet did 3 sets of blood work in the last two
weeks. Mylo has a high white blood cell count (38) a low red blood cell
count (4); he has FeLV and anemia. The vet didn't say what the underlying
sickness could be. He just said that Mylo tested positive for FeLV and
there is nothing we can do. I am currently trying to see another vet on
Mylo's condition. I don't know what's causing Mylo's diarrhea but he has
had it for weeks now. He is taking flagyl but it isn't helping. I left a
message for my new vet to call me tomorrow so I hope to get some more
info.

Chris,
Sorry you are having these problems, my first concerns are your vet,
what did he do to find out what is wrong with your Mylo?? If nothing
then if I were you I'd run, not walk to a different vet!!! What did your
vet say is wrong with Mylo other than being positive?? FeLV is a virus
that compromises the immune system which in turn allows other illnesses
to take hold and flourish, it in itself is not what makes cats sick, the
other illnesses that can take hold are. Did your vet even test for
anything, do any blood work, give you anything for the diarrhea, find out
whats causing the diarrhea??
