Subject: RE: BS: Kitten healthy? Not? Advice, please
Wow, I logged in thinking I'd refresh this thread, only to find that some kind souls have done it for me already! :-)

Little Roo has an appointment with the vet at 2:00 pm today (Friday) to be tested for giardia. I've given the Benefiber idea more than enough of a chance (2 weeks!), but even at twice the recommended amount, it is doing very little to form the stools. However, the vet didn't want me to change Roo's diet until this test.

Bearing in mind what Becky has said, one test may not be enough to find the little buggers if they're in there. :-(

I'll be printing out the diet tips from this thread and taking them with me to the doc's to discuss. I'm all for trying the pro-biotic route if he doesn't have any objections.

As for digital pix of the puddy, I do have some camera-phone images and I'd love to share them, but I don't have a website to upload them to so that I could make a link to such a site. How else can I post them on Mudcat?
