Customer Review: exacerbated problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I hate to post a negative review when others seem to have been helped, but thought I'd better for the benefit of anyone else who has same experience...
We have 3 adult cats & 2 eight-month old kittens (from different litters) who were adopted into our home one week apart, so they are the same age.
One of the kittens came to us with severe digestive issues (diarrhea). The "shelter" insisted she didn't have this problem before they spayed her (at 10 weeks!) so I thought it was due to the trauma of such an early spay, but the issue continued.
I kept her on same food she had previously been fed, but due to her problem, decided to slowly transition her to gluten-free and grain-free food, and stopped dry kibble & seafood flavors of canned food, both of which are known to exacerbate bowel issues. (the other kitten was same age, also spayed this early, but no tummy problems. She arrived on a different canned/kibble, so she too was transitioned & did fine.) Even with the slow transition, the problem continued with the one kitten.
One vet put her thru more worming, although testing was negative! And the medicine (antibiotic) made her problem worse. Went to another vet/different lab for more testing. Negative. And each time we paid for the test that cost more but better quality results. Still negative.
I finally stumbled on digestive enzymes via my own research and Daphne has been much much better & forming soft, but formed stool most days. But some foods set her off, even with slow transitioning.
Recently, I read about Fortiflora & decided to give it a try. No local vet carried it, so ordered online. Very expensive but worth every penny if it would help. I called the company & even though people here say it helped overnight, even they found that odd, as they said to keep her on it for 30 days. The quickest they knew of it's efficacy was 2 weeks....
Unfortunately, it threw Daphne back into the runs, and made it dark and liquid! Maybe this was due to something new added to her food, but I would never think that something made to eliminate the runs would cause them to become liquid. I tried it for 2 days (once/day) but she was definitely worse from it.
On a side note: one of our adult male cats, who never has had digestive issues in the past, had a slight case of the runs (I believe one of the cans of cat food was bad). So I gave him 1/2 packet of Fortiflora and even he ended up with liquid poop!
So that's my experience. I'm sticking to the enzyme powder (Prozyme Plus/lactose free). It seems to be the best solution & Daphne will just have to have this added to each meal the rest of her life. I do not work for this company, but I know what it's like to be in the desperate situation of trying to help a helpless pet, so I share the name only from what I've gone thru)
Daphne can now enjoy her favorite foods: canned seafood flavors & dry kibble (but there is only one kibble that she can tolerate at this time: Before Grain Chicken. She gets the runs with Orijen which is my first choice, but I only give that to the other kitten behind a closed door as Daphne loves Orijen (meat formula. As long as I put 1/8 tsp of enzyme powder in each serving, she had a formed bowel movement.
But we are still a work in progress as we don't know the cause of her condition.
Perhaps Fortiflora is for a specific problem that my kitten doesn't have. I hope it works for you. Your cat will likely enjoy the flavor!
