I wanted to update folks. We are now on month 4 of diarrhea. I have done more vet visits and PCR tests and tried switching to Royal Canin fiber response food… nothing. When I can get my cats to eat it, pro-pectalin helps a bit but as soon as I stop the poops go back to soft serve. The only...

Hi There. I wish I had a real update. I have now switched food and my two kitties still have diarrhea (pudding consistency, not watery) and one has vomited once, which may be unrelated. Otherwise, they are normal, playful cats with healthy coats. After taking a break while I did the food...

Well, of course the day after I decided to stop the metro, I saw a perfect poop and thought “what have I done?!” Unfortunately both cats are now doing everything in their power to avoid the medication at this point avoiding both pills and liquid no matter how many treats I cover them with (pill...

Thank you SO much for this information (from me and my torties to you and your Krista ❤️). I am going to give this a try and will report back in case it helps others.

Thank you! I have been avoiding carrageenan but not agar-agar, sunflower oil or potato starch — you are the first person to give me that advice and I appreciate it. Birdie and Sip seem to have a preference for chunks in gravy type textures. I am all eats for any ideas!

That’s my best guess at this point since none of the three medications we have tried have done anything and two fecals have some back negative. My plan is to try to give them a break from the harsh meds and supplement with psyllium and probiotics for a while to see if things improve.

Thank you both. They are both indoor only cats. I definitely tinkered a bit to try to find a food that they would both eat. My older cat used to eat anything other than chicken, but now she is obsessed with lotus brand “just juicy” venison wet food and I can’t get her to even try much else. I...

Meowmee, I read your story with so much interest. I was convinced that it had to be something infectious because both cats are experiencing it but I have now has TWO PCR tests come back with nothing. I have been trying a round of Metro + Safeguard out of desperation but it has been a few days...

Thank you! I have been giving 1-2 pills a day and yes have used the Jarrow brand.

Also, I should have noted this, the fecal also came back positive for coronavirus, but that wasn't a surprise.

Hi Everyone, I adopted a 5 month old kitten about 10 weeks ago and shortly after her arrival both she and my 2 year old kitty started having diarrhea. A vet took a look at them and didn't see any obvious issues but we did a PCR test and found only small amounts of clostridium. We dewormed...

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I really needed some reassurance. Any specific tips are also welcome! (A friend suggested feeding her dinner on my lap?) I just want her to feel safe and loved and be able to trust humans enough to receive veterinary care when she needs it.

I adopted a 4-5 month old kitten (“Sip”) about 8 weeks ago, knowing that she was shy. She and her two siblings arrived at a foster likely a little “late” and she was the spiciest of the three. The foster got her to a decent place but she could not sit in a lap or be picked up. She regressed...
