Durvet - Kaolin-Pectin Antidiarrheal - 32 oz (Packaging May Vary)

kaopectate as it used to be when kaopectate was benign.

This is the old formula for Kaopectate. If your pet or animal has loose stool this sets them right very quickly.

I've been buying this product since early 2022. It's great for stopping diarrhea in cats on a short-term basis or, in my opinion, allowing an IBS cat to have a relatively normal life on a long-term basis using small amounts, such a 1 cc every other day. Two of my cats fall into the latter category. The younger one has never minded taking this product. I taste everything I give my cats, and I've always thought this product tasted fine. When both cats balked at the latest batch, I tasted it, and it has a pretty bitter aftertaste. The use-by date is 2026, so that's not the issue. I'm going to look for another product, at least in the short term, because I can't risk my younger cat being turned off by this product. He needs it too much. But this product does work great. I'm not sure what happened to the taste.

So I actually got this for my cat who loves to produce diarrhea. He refuses to eat it and lets it trickle out of his furry little mouth when I put it in there. If this happens to you, be sure to clean it up quick. Once it dries, it's a pain to clean up.Then my dog had another bout of HGE which means vomiting and severe bloody poohs that look like raspberry jelly and smell like death. The first time she had HGE, I had to have her hospitalized on IV fluids because things were so bad.This last week, she started to have another bout of HGE. I immediately started feeding her low fat cottage cheese with a topping of this stuff 4x a day. She stopped vomiting and there has been some diarrhea, but very little blood in the diarrhea. If this continues to work like it has been the last two days, it will save me approx $1000 in vet bills.

Thought it would be best to write this review after using the product for a month. So far so good! My old lady has been living with IBD with her entire life. It got progressively worse as she became a senior and developed kidney disease. With approval from her vet, I give her a dose every other day to keep her IBD tendencies at bay. She’s been putting on weight, eating SO WELL, and doesn’t poo like a firehose. I’m really happy with her life improvement. Amazing thing is this bottle is so large it lasts a long while. I’ve even given a dose to my dog and it helped him as well. Great stuff to keep in your cabinet!

First attempt – date was not far enough ahead. Second attempt – we tried it out, and we could tell the taste was horrible as all three of Our cats did everything they could just spit it out as it foamed in their mouths.

If I added it to cat food as with other brands, cat would leave entire bowl and not eat a bit.

My dogs liked the taste which made it so much easier to administer it to them. Best if put in food!Thank you☺️
