    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    Hi everyone, Tiger has had his vet check up after a week and while neither of us can say for sure whether the cause of all the issues recently was a parasite that didn't get picked up in his fecal sample or a genuine irritation/allergy to fish, the good news is that he's all better and his poop...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    Another update, he did one last night. The end bit is still a bit wet/mushy but I'd say the first 75% is solid and dry as expected :) Hopefully not too long now until it's all normal! The best part about yesterday was that it meant that bless him he did it and left himself all completely clean...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    Good news! He had a poop yesterday and while it's still not where we want it to be, it's certainly looking a lot more formed. I'm really hoping that it'll continue to get better over the next few days and back to normal now that he's on the prescribed food. Will keep you all updated :)

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    Hi everyone, Got a call from the vet today and I've just picked up Tiger. He has been off the metronidazole for 3 days apparently and the special food the pets were giving him was in fact the Sensitive Hills Prescription Diet that you recommended @Furballsmom! His poop apparently is more of a...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    Fair enough. His dry whiskas food contains tuna apparently... and he was eating that in the mornings when on the poultry based wet diet. Makes me wonder if this small difference too could mean he still has an issue with tuna/fish but the amount in the dry food wasn't significant enough to cause...

    This is the tuna we've been feeding him, so no signs of added sodium or vegetable broth in the ingredients! Tuna Chunks in Spring Water HOWEVER, I have been investigating his box and I've just realised something. For wet food, he's always had Whiskas poultry pouches: Whiskas 1+ Adult Cat Food...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    In all honesty, we didn't ask because the vets told us he'd be fine since he was discharged on Monday and we just had to be patient with the meds and feed him only tuna/chicken breast... and while his stool on Wednesday looked thicker and more formed... it all went backwards today. He's now...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    We haven't tried goat milk or pumpkin as the vets told us to only feed him canned tuna or chicken breast. I've spoken to the vets about the food they're giving him and they said that IF it helps bring solidity back to his stools in the next few days, they can either give me the name of the food...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    And just to clarify, his fecal test was sent to a laboratory. So it wasn't the in-vet one, so I'm expecting them to be of a relatively high level of accuracy. The vets say the tests make sense because he's been on metronidazole long enough that if it WAS a parasite, it should be showing signs...

    Cat Has Chronic Diarrhea... Vets Confused.

    Hi everyone, I have a beautiful 11 month old Turkish Angora who last Friday was struggling to control his bowels and was farting and as a result discharging a large quantity of watery, dark black/green liquid everywhere. He has been fecal tested (with 3 samples taken within close proximity)...
