I have an indoor only cat who is very difficult to get to the vet. Eve is more than likely an indoor feral, the only survivor of a feral litter born 14 years ago. I thought that she would adapt to being an indoor cat, which she absolutely has, with the exception of I can practically never touch her. She has been to the vet, but has been healthy and fortunately has had to go very infrequently.
Right now she has very loose stools, which seem to be continuing. Not technically diarrhea as it does not occur repeatedly, but very loose and liquid. She does use a litter box so there is not problem with cleanliness.
I tried to get her into a carrier on Friday and it turned ugly.
When I took another cat in to the vet on the same day, I mentioned Eve and the vet offered me Rx Clay. It is hydrated calcium aluminosilicate clay and is mixed with food. Technically it is a prescription, but since Eve was not able to be with us, the vet put it under the name of my other cat.
Any experience with it? Certainly this does not get to the root of the issue and we are working on that, but I think that Eve is developing a sore bottom from the loose stool.
