I've always used Flagyl tablets so have no experience with a liquid
or gell - course you've for a feral there, so you can't easily do
tablets and they taste bad ... anyhow you might talk to the druggist
about compounding it in chicken flavor or something?
Course if he/she is feral, how do you get the liquid down?
Another thought - One vet gave me panacur and I use it quite a bit -
its' liquid and not as repulsive to my cats as Flagyl, apparently. I
did 1cc for 3 days. so shorter term than Flagyl. Might ask your vet
about that...

Hi guys,
I hope this post finds you all well. We finally got Ensie, my
grandmother's feral from NC diagnosed correctly. They weren't
doing the fecal right at the vets, and finally we got a fill-in vet
who not only did the float, but also did another procedure that I
can't remember. I think it involved a smear and slide, but not
sure. Anyway, the vet said that Ensie had no more roundworms, as
she did when we first brought her back to Texas, but that she had
two other issues: Mega-bacteria and cyclospores, or something like
that, which is what is causing her diarrhea. She said she's never
seen bacteria that large before. She also said Ensie had zero good
bacteria, or flora I think she called it, in her stomach. So she
prescribed Flagyl and Bene-Bac. I gave Ensie her first dose this
morning of the Flaygyl and she went nuts. She did NOT like it at
all. And the stuff is cherry flavored! What are they thinking?
Do cats like cherry flavoring? lol. So I wondered if any of you
had any good ideas for dosing liquid cherry flavored Flagyl to your
kitties? I am thinking it won't go over in tuna, but maybe
something else???
Thanks for any advice!
:)

Subject: Autumn and Diarrhea
Hey All,
Autumn is doing really well overall. She's been feeling so good
in fact that she's been trying to steal human food. She's tried to
do this as long as we've had her. The only difference is that she's
now bigger and sneakier. On Friday night she got into a plate and
ate some pizza crust with a little sauce on it. She also ate part
of a cooling banana bread loaf on Saturday. When I set the loaf out
she was playing happily in another room - when I turned around she
was munching away~_~ The problem is that she's developed diarrhea.
She has no other symptoms. We try hard to keep her out of people
food, but if you turn your back for a second she gets into your
plate. Should I get her in to see a vet ASAP or just wait and
see? I understand that sometimes people food upsets their
stomachs. I have a soft food for cats with intestinal troubles.
Should I take away her hard food and give her the I/D formula?
She's also had terrible kitty gas.
Thanks,
~Susan A
