Oops forgot. The specific identifying symptom is diarrhea that looks like anti-freeze. Oh and the smell is very bad too. ECE is a corona virus and we need to provide hydration support as well as coating of the tummy and intestines which is where the Kaopectate and Pepto come in. Amoxi is given for secondary infections. Carafate can be given also but needs to be given 45 minutes to an hour before other meds or feeding. I've found with our group they are use to different foods and it was relatively easy to fix up the special recipes and let them lap them up. Pedialyte is in every room they sleep in, in water bottles and bowls, as well as fresh water. I've made it as simple as possible for them to drink. Placing bowls by litter boxes seems to work well. When they head for the litter box, they then get a drink. I'd like to suggest that others try different recipes on your critters so if they do get sick they will be easier to feed, both for you and them. This has been a life saver in this situation. For those that don't want to drink or eat we syringe feed 90cc's per pound per day. Hugs. tle [Posted in FML issue 1513]
