Cat / Mix - Answered 1334 days ago
My cat has her energy and appetite, but sometimes has runny stool or diarrhea. It subsides once I give her digestive drugs and diarrhea medication I got at the vet, but the symptoms come back after a while. For food I give her digestive support food and female care food from Royal Canin, depending on her situation. Is anything more I can do to help with the runny stool or diarrhea?

1. Fiber Some types of cat diarrhea get better with a low-fiber (highly digestible) diet. If your cat doesn’t have diarrhea all that frequently but when he does he produces a lot of stool, a low-fiber diet could be worth a try. 2. Encourage Water and Electrolyte Intake Cats with diarrhea need to take in sufficient amounts of water to prevent dehydration. Keep your cat’s water bowls filled with fresh, clean water and consider adding an extra bowl that contains diluted chicken or beef broth 3. Probiotic supplements can help return a cat’s intestinal bacterial population to normal. Pick a probiotic that is labeled for use in cats and made by a reputable company. 4. kaolin-pectin medications can be used safely in cats. Dosing instructions of around 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds body weight every four to six hours are typical. 5. Bring Changes in diet of your cat 6. Monitoring Your Cat’s Condition If your cat’s diarrhea fails to resolve after a few days of home treatment or his overall condition gets worse rather than better, make an appointment with your veterinarian.
