Some people find that Iams Hairball dried food can help in cases of diarrhoea where nothing else seems to work - it has to be fed exclusively (no other food offered) and will work within 2-3 days if it's going to.
Other people swear by a raw diet for treating this type of problem.
I can understand how frustrating it must be, as well as unpleasant for your cat and you. Hope you get it sorted soon.

The Vet thinks that the filaments in his intestine may not be working, the blood test will not come back from the USA for another week. I don't think that the has been tested for TF - there was no urgency about getting the sample to the Vet, I will mention it to him. He is eating 250gms of turkey plus basmati rice plus dried food a day and still wants more, and is a furbag of bones. I feed the two cats apart. The other eats a tiny amount in comparison and is a typical Blue, built like a prop forward.
