CAT DIARRHEA



Custom Search

CAT DIARRHEA is one of the most frequent presenting signs of cats taken in to see the vet. It occurs in kittens, adults, geriatrics, males and females and has many different causes.

It is important for any cat with diarrhea that lasts more than a day to have a physical exam and microscopic evaluation of the stool. Because there are so many causes of feline diarrhea, it is very important to diagnose the cause so that treatment can be appropriate. Without proper diagnostics, it is not possible to administer the correct treatment and that is not safe or fair for the cat or the owner.

Diarrhea can be difficult to treat, but almost never impossible. Sometimes it requires enormous patience on the part of the owner and a firm trust in the veterinarian because it may take time and require several stages of diagnostics and even trials of treatment to cure diarrhea.



I have seen far too many cat owners run from one vet to another if the diarrhea is not resolved with one visit. That is unfortunate because diarrhea in a cat is one of those conditions that may take a few days to a few weeks to diagnose and treat. Running from vet to vet is a waste of precious time unless you have good reason to doubt the competency of your veterinarian.

In this section of the website, I will cover the symptoms, various causes, necessary diagnostics, and possible treatments for diarrhea in cats. Questions from readers and my answers will also be included.
