My cat eats grass, then has diarrhea

[orvieto]

Panda, my male Birman,wants to eat grass. Then, he suffers from diarrhea. My vet says its simply reflux. I don't agree. Just moved to Italy. Vets may think Im overeacting. Help, please.

Are you saying that eating grass causes diarrhea? Can you restrict his ability to eat grass then? What kind of grass? Cat grass or lawn grass? Does he have access to the outside?

He has access to outside He seems to crave grass Plain, garden variety, grass Panda frequently suffers from tummy upsets
Thank you

Frequent tummy upsets are not good. I don't think you are overreacting. Does he only get diarrhea when he eats grass or at other times too? Could he be anything else outside that could be upsetting his tummy? Is fertilizer or weed killer or anything else used on the grass?
