Hi there,
Is the female a Ragdoll too?
Does she have diarrhea?
Is she spayed?
Is the boy healthy?
How long do you have her?
Thanks,
Terri
Hi Terri:
The female is a tabby, the foster considers her a Maine Coon mix -- she does have the coloring of a maine coon. A little bit of diarrhea, although the stools do seem to be firming up, they're still soft. She is spayed. The boy is healthy -- probably healthier than she is, because he came from a really good breeder. I've only had her for two weeks, him for a week. She can clear a room with either her gas or her poo! It literally makes me gag when I clean her box.
Dear friend,
May God bless you for adopting her!!
It sounds like she immune system is weak due to an inappropriate diet and lack of care in her former home.
I see you have changed her food (good for you!) and are giving l-lycine and acidophilus.
The smelly poo is from bad bacteria - swiitch to www.culturelle.com as that is the best probiotic.
Also give her one half a pepsid a/d daily and a halftsp of plain yogurt.
Add a half tsp of colloidal silver a day to the community water. Get it in a health food store.
Apply a damp teabag to her eyes three times a day. The tanic acid in the tea will reduce the PH of her tears.
Be patient, it can take a month or two to get her metabolsm to straighten out.
Please let me know how things are going.
Warmest best wishes,
