Hi!
I've 2 female cats, Ariel who's 1.5 yo, and Kiara who's 6 months old, she's the daughter of my mom's cats (a bengal and a savannah) and when I got her I noticed 2 things: she ate like crazy (and still does, she eats her food and steals some of Ariel's food too) and her poop smelled really bad, so bad it makes you gag, but her stools were normal, super stinky but normal, I asked my mom about it and she told me the breeder told her that savannah cats poops' were really smelly so I assumed it was a breed thing.
At the end of November I was away on vacations and my roomie took her to her bfs vet (not my vet) cause she had diarrhea and he told her Kiara had diarrhea cause she ate our dog's food (she ate little pieces every once in a while, but not all the time, and never huge quantities), and that she also had parasites but that he couldn't give her something until the diarrhea went away, so he prescribed her something (my roomie lost the recipe so I've no idea what he gave her) and told her that if the diarrhea came back we needed to repeat the treatment, which she did while I was still away.
Honestly I didn't trust the vet's diagnosis, in my opinion and experience, she has diarrhea cause she has parasites, but the diarrhea won't go away until we get rid of them, it's not caused because of my dog's food, it's not possible she got the parasites from my dog or cat cause they had just taken a treatment a month before my mom gave me Kiara, and neither of my mom's cats have diarrhea, and my other cat's fine, her stools are firm and not stinky as hers, she hasn't been near my dog's food and the diarrhea is back. She's growing just fine, she plays a lot, drinks water, she's very active, but her poop's smelly and not firm at all, last night I covered one that looked like mustardy water, what can I do?
