I first meet him in 2014 he was my last humane case. He was used as targetpractice. He had an arrow in his head.Thankfully only soft tissue damage, andBB in multiple areas. Been to multiplevets and no one can help his diarrhea. The poor thing has only to sneeze and it comes flying Please if you have any suggestions I would appreciate. He is agreat cat and I love him very much.

poor kitty! So glad you've helped him!

What's he eating? The food may not be agreeing with him. could also be allergies in some ingredients.

Hi and thanks a billion for saving this kitty from the human barbarity!

Please, be aware that rice has the opposite effects on cats, unless you cook it according to certain rules, that is you boil it, then you rinse it under flushing water from the tap, then you boil it again and then flush it again. This to remove all starch from it. Starch can give diarrhea in cats.

Have you given your cat any supplement or probiotics for stopping his diarrhea?
What did your vet say? What tests have you done?

I never knew that about rice. I'll have to keep that in mind if I use it in a bland diet.

They run blood test, and stool samples, they went to do exploratory surgery but can't afford to
Yes I knew about the right way to cook rice for a bland diet but he refused to eat it
Trying a different probiotics now the last one had less microbes then the new one

That's great! Hopefully his stools will continue to firm up.
