Sorry Uli
Read your message at home and did not get chance to reply at work. They haven't had a test yet. I tried to coax the vet into doing one by taking a stool sample in but he was convinced they had collitis. He said he would look into it if they are no better once they're back on biscuits. I do live in the U.K. and it's a great relief to hear we don't have ECE here. They're stools are much better and there is no green coloration now but I will be taking them back to the vet to ensure they are fighting fit. I'm very confused about the food thing. I have been told that James Wellbeloved is too rich & has too much potato in. But I think you said that this is a good brand? Everyone seems to have their own opinions on caring for ferts, like children I suppose!
Thanks for your advice so far.
