LindaH.. ok please tell me a bit more about the slippery elm.. I think I've seen a teabag form of this tho is it in capsule supplement OTC in health food store? And how do I mix it or give it like so much powder to so much water (if that's even appropriate). I have to make an appt. with the Vet re checking out colitis. Winston is very sensitive about having his rear end touched and what I've noticed when he pushes to have a bowel movement it's like he has a huge hemorrhoid coming out or a part of his rectum protruding. I have to tell the Vet tho I have forgotten to as I've really just been watching him recently and have to turn away almost between the visual and the odor.

Dan, thanks for the baking tip

Kira, I have only been giving Alaska the tuna flavored food. Winston could never tolerate it... he's having the same prob he was having when I had to take him off of wet gravey that was all he would eat of the wet food.

My poor widdle man ~ he just doesn't seem happy right now. I wish I knew if he were in gastrointestinal pain or discomfort I think at the very least. I would be if I was pooping like that and had gas.. I just don't know. He hasn't wanted to snuggle since the last time I wrote that he did. He seems to be in pain of some sort. I can't take him to be seen until Friday.

Thank you Kira! I'm going to pray that the half of jar of winter squash that he gobbled up won't go splat poop all over the place when he next hits the kitty litter box! He seemed to love it so that was good. I also got the pumpkin that is the good one tho seems like if the baby food works he likes that. That made me happy Hope he can "stomach" it

We luvz these kitties don't we
