I have been reading these forums to try to figure out a solution to my problem. I noticed there are a lot of helpful posts on here.
I'll give you as much information as possible about the problem.
My cat is 8 months old now, we have not had her for too long (she is up to date on all her shots). Lately, she has had repeated diarrhea and I'm trying to determine the cause. She is still acting normal, just drinking lots of water.
She's been to the vet, but they said the fecal was normal. She's going back on Saturday. She was sick about 2 weeks before with diarrhea (and was on medication), but it stopped after that.
I was forced to switch the 8 month old over because my other cat kept getting into her Nutro Kitten Food (just liked the other cats food better I guess) and that was giving my older cat diarrhea, which stopped when I removed that food.
I recently started to switch her over from the Nutro Kitten Food Dry Food (that she had been eating since I bought her) to the Blue Buffalo Wilderness Grain Free Indoor Cat Formula Dry Food (since this food is supposed to be better for the cat). She started pooing green diarrhea, so I put her on the rice and chicken diet until her stool returned to normal. Then I tried mixing in a bit of the food again and back to green diarrhea. Now it's back to the rice and chicken. She's eating it but, not as much as she normally eats so I am also concerned about that.
My other cat is also on Purina One UTI food Dry Food and that might have been the cause of the original diarrhea in the younger cat. The older cat was also on Friskies Wet Food.
I have also been changing out the cat litter every day because of the diarrhea. It's ending up all over the box and has a terrible smell to it. I've had to buy more litter 3 times now (40 pounds).
What else could be causing this diarrhea? Any suggestions to get it to stop?
I am trying to put them both on the same cat food. Does anyone have any suggestions that will not upset her stomach?
Other information:
She is a extremely active cat and likes to run around early in the morning, jump lots of places, plays with a bunch of toys, etc. She likes to get pet, but always prefers to play over getting pet.
