Cat with loose stools - sorry this is gross.

I think Gene has had diarrhea for a couple of days, normally the cats' poop is dark and pretty hard, but his has been very "puffy" for a day or two and loose and today there was actually poop spray on the side of the litter box, like he pooped liquid.

When should I call the vet? Give it one more day?

Should I start with chicken & rice tonight?

Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!

Re: Cat with loose stools - sorry this is gross.

  • Yeah, I would do plain chicken and maybe a little pumpkin and give it one more day. Then I would definitely call, just to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated. 

    Hope he feels better soon! 

  • I've been dealing with this for the last week with Cat, due to antibiotics.  The vet recommended turkey or chicken baby food.  I bought beech-nut at my local grocery store (ingredients: Chicken, water) for $0.99 and I just give him one jar in the morning and one jar at night.  It's been helping, although slowly.

    Interesting, thank you - I can probably get something like this at the CVS which is a convenient on the way home stop.  I don't have any chicken breast in the freezer.

    This is one thing I hate about having more than one cat - WHO IS SICK?

    They're both acting normal, although Gene's nose was dry and a little warmish this morning.
