What do I do for my cat with diarrhea?

Answer by  rolala (171)

Keep the routine stress-free and as normal, but do clean the dishes and litterbox, provide plenty of clean water and remove food after mealtimes immediately. A pure slippery elm bark gruel mixture fed by hand often proves helpful, and a dose of Dr. Bach's rescue remedy might help ease some stress as well. See your vet for definitive treatment options.

This is almost always caused by the food you are feeding the cat. It is very likely that the foods are too high in either water or fiber and it will cause stomach upset. If you have just changed food, you need to revert to your old brand. If not, see a vet.

Keep your cat on a steady, healthy diet, and provide it with a stable, steady environment. See that it drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration. If the diarrhea persists for more then a couple days, consult your vet. Diarrhea can be caused by many different things.

If you have a cat with diarrhea, the first thing you should do is change his food to something of better quality, if that doesn't work, see a vet.

Cats can sometimes have very sensitive GI systems. Change her diet. If she is getting wet food, maybe feed just half of what was being given. If this doesn't work in a few days, cut the wet food entirely. You shouldn't regulary give your cat milk, either, as they are lactose intolerant with cow milk.

You should visit the veterian. And make some diagnostic tests to find the underlying cause. You should feed your pet with high-fiber diet if it has large bowel diarrhea.
