Has anyone tried this? I'm giving it a whirl. I've also read that sometimes, cats with diarrhea, sometimes benefit from canned food rather than dry. I thought it would have been the opposite. Sheryl

It will help with both diarrhea and constipation and its natural. havingalook, Sep 22, 2009 #2 kerrie78Senior Lairian Senior LairianJoined:Mar 8, 2009Messages:777Likes Received:86Sphynx Bucks: $475.00Ratings:+89 If the ingredient in Benefiber(I don't know; I know it is in Metamucil) is psylluim then it does help with diarrhea kerrie78, Sep 22, 2009 #3 sherylLairianJoined:Aug 27, 2009Messages:59Likes Received:2Location:WISphynx Bucks: $424.00Ratings:+2 I have been using pumpkin (not the pie filling) for a while now, with no success. sheryl, Sep 22, 2009 #4 PbinkyBannedJoined:Jun 13, 2009Messages:273Likes Received:115Location:Toronto,...Sphynx Bucks: $0.00Ratings:+116 Sheryl, consult with your vet about the benefiber. I'm sure it will be ok but you need to get the correct dose for you little ones. You don't want to give too much because it may back up the stool and cause an impacted colon. Just check with the vet, have your girls weighed and then you can come up with a good dose for the girls. But i think it would be worth a try.

Canned food always gives my cats diarrhea and certain dry foods, its been a case of trial and error to find one that suits them. havingalook, Sep 22, 2009 #6 sherylLairianJoined:Aug 27, 2009Messages:59Likes Received:2Location:WISphynx Bucks: $424.00Ratings:+2 I have switched their food. We started with Science Diet I/D, then went to Wellness, now I'm trying Natural Balnce Limited Ingredients Diet, Green Pea & Chicken. Also tried raw, but they wouldn't touch it. Lilly did for two days, then quit. She had good poop with the raw. sheryl, Sep 22, 2009 #7 (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)Show Ignored Content Login with InstagramLog in with FacebookYour name or email address: Do you already have an account?

If the ingredient in Benefiber(I don't know; I know it is in Metamucil) is psylluim then it does help with diarrhea
