I got it from Vet UK, it was only about £6 if I remember rightly?

It certainly isn't fun!..

I wasn't smiling in the early hours, half asleep, Trying to catch Leo before he sprinted around the flat with it going everywhere  :sick: & he is too quick for me at the best of times!!  Bless his heart!  :Luv2: His tail hair is actually longer than mine & I have a bob to my chin....You can imagine!

It is indeed Prokolin.

Well, I hope you get on OK with it.  It really seems to help Dot.  You can buy it on line much cheaper than at the vets.  I get mine from vetscriptions.co.uk - that's run as a sideline from a vets surgery in Paddington.  I have even been lucky enough to get some free advice from a very nice vet there.

Hope it works for you and Leo - skwitters in a long-haired cat ain't fun (Dot always manages to drag her tail through hers   :sick: )

Also, I got some anti sickness/ diarrhea stuff from Vet UK & wanted everyones opinions on it before I used it. It comes with a syringe..but I cant remember what the name of it is.

Helpful arnt I!

Prokolin?  If so, I give this to Dot when she's skwittery and it does seem to help.  If I catch things early enough it will stop it dead.

Bless you Catbird!

Leo still fights me when it comes to grooming.. I trim the hair around his back legs now as that doesnt bother him at all.. he's a strange one!


I do actually have a furminator.. I must say they are good..& he doesnt mind it half as much..
Thanks for the info hon  :)

A-HA!  I was thinking of you the other day.  Is Leo still being a sod about grooming?  If he is, have a look at the thread I started about the Furminator:

http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,21338.0.html

I was put on to a really great grooming tool (not Furminator).  I have used it twice and by the end of the second time, Dot was just lying there, totally unrestrained, enjoying her pampering session.  It was while I was grooming her that I thought about you and Leo - read the thread and see what you think.

Well I called mum & she said thats what she used to do to me & my sister when we were younger & had a dickie tummy!  :evillaugh:

I very rarely get time really to be honest , I used to be on allot while at work but its  all been banned !..(although I managed to hack onto Purrs this arvo - has never tried before!) I sell allot of stuff on ebay & that takes up allot of time whilst im not entertaining Master Leo!   :evillaugh:

My Vet always says to stave for the first 24hrs and then feed bland food until it has cleared up.

i agree.  24 hours of small, regular meals of plain chicken is usually enough to clear up a dicky tum.  personally i'd wait before making a vet appt  ;)

If you feel he wants something to eat, the best thing is something bland, liked boiled chicken and rice or white fish.  I can't see it would do any harm to starve him for the evening if you can get him in the Vet tomorrow morning but the bland diet may be worth a try to see if it clears the diarrhoea up first.  Could he have eaten anything he shouldn't have while you have been out?

Quick Question Please
« Reply #1 on: January 21, 2009, 20:17:51 PM »
Hello All

I got home yesterday & Leo had been sick, thought it was just a hair ball. Then from 5am this morning he had diarrhea which contained a little blood mixed in with a bit of clear fluid (sorry to be so graphic). He has also had diarrhea this eve (but no blood), on & off. Will call the vet 1st thing just to get it checked out, but in the meantime am I best off not giving him any food? 

Thank you
