My cats have diarrhea? Whats wrong? I've tried everything?

They need to actually see the vet.

Diarrhea is almost always a symptom, you need your vet to figure out the underlying cause. Just treating the symptom won't really solve the problem. Even if the diarrhea stops, the kittens could still be sick. It's irresponsible of that woman to just give you medicine like that and it's a mistake to give a cat yogurt for diarrhea when you don't know why the cat has diarrhea. Changing their diet is likely to increase their intestinal problems.

It still could be worms. Your vet can test for them. It's very common for kittens to have worms and it can take several doses of dewormer to get rid of them. There are different types of worms not killed with a standard dewormer, so it's important for them to be tested by your vet, don't assume that woman at the adoption place knows for sure. There are other possible causes too, all require that you go to the vet. Your kitten could have passed different kinds of parasites to your older cat. I've brought in a lot of stray cats and kittens but the kitten with the most parasites I've had was the one I got from a rescue. They had noticeably weakened him and I ended up having to treat my older cat for all the same parasites. But after that first vet visit the kitten perked up and became perfectly healthy.

There's lots of potential causes of diarrhoea in cats - it seems like you've ruled out the obvious one which is what they're eating. That pretty much leaves the possibility of a disease - and there's many - bacterial, viral, or a parasite. You need to get them checked out by a vet. Sorry to say, but you should take fresh poop with you in a zip lock bag (it needs to be fresh so the disease is still alive and detectable). Coccidia is not uncommon in shelters, so it might be that. If the little one has had it for weeks there's a danger of dehydration, so get them to the vet asap. Good luck!

Oh pricey, i wanted to inform you your in my concepts. i'm so sorry to listen on your having to regulate this secret. good success. i wish you locate alleviation on your sweetie quickly. this can seem stupid, yet .. ought to your cat be ingesting residing house flowers? (i'm effective you've appeared into this yet i wanted to substantiate). Do you take advantage of chemical compounds to bathe your flooring? appears like it will be poisoning. If that is an out door cat, ought to that is catching and ingesting mice that were ingesting poison. ought to your cat be digging in flower beds that were bated with Slug poison? appears like its alot of blood. i'm no longer a vet, in simple terms theory i'd would help spark some recommendations. replace: ok, i'm satisfied its no longer some thing like the above i stated! in case you may have the funds for it, having a seem "up there" will be worth at the same time as. pass for the x ray. i wish it exhibits no longer some thing besides the undeniable fact that! i wish its only a parasite element. good success!!!!!! playstation . I had to advance the poison situation because i had this take position to a previous outside cat. He develop into ingesting mice that were fed rat killer from my neighbour. He develop into bleeding fantastically badly and had to have him positioned down. So, in simple terms needed to describe why i delivered this up when you consider that i seem getting thumbs down lol

Did the medicine come from a vet? That is the first person you should consult. It's strange that it's both cats though. It makes me wonder if it's something in their environment or something they are eating. Have you been giving them milk to drink? Don't! It gives them the runs.

There is one thing you haven't tried: Taking your cats to the veterinarian. Or, if you did, you didn't mention it in your list of things you have tried. Yes, this symptom is worthy of a vet visit. Yes, it can indicate serious problems. Yes, it requires treatment in and of itself, because your cats can become dehydrated.

P.S. If you did take your cat to the veterinarian, and your veterinarian was not helpful, then I strongly urge you to find another veterinarian for a second opinion.

P.P.S. Yes, I know it's spendy to take pets to the veterinarian. I've had to do it myself on occasion. And yes, I've done so when I was on unemployment, or sick myself, etc. - knowing that if it got so bad that I could not care for my cats I would have to let them go to the HS or something. Part of owning a pet, is the moral and legal responsibility to provide a reasonable level of veterinary care for them.

i would definately get them to the vet very soon. and try to take samples from each cat with you in separate, labeled ziploc bags. i know you have said you tried changing the food/water, and that in and of itself could be a source of the problem. do your cats eat wet food? kittens often get diarrhea from eating wet food, especially if it is not wet food specifically formulated for kittens. do your cats eat separately? kittens can experience a range of digestive issues including diarrhea and/or vomiting from eating adult cat food. it does not have the necessary nutrients for a kittens growing system. adult cats can get diarrhea from reverting back to eating kitten food as well. kitten food has a higher fat and calorie content than adult cat food to support a kittens growing need. adult cats have difficulty digesting that much fat. you would need to make sure you feed your cats separately and that they do not eat each others food. how often were you changing their food and what are you feeding them? constant changes to a cats diet can cause stomach upset and diarrhea. low quality cat food can also cause issues as most are made with mainly by-products (which is parts of the animal other than the meat-usually bones, cartilage, beaks, etc) and corn. cats cannot digest corn and do not get much nutrition from "by-products" as they are obligate carnivores and must have meat protein to survive. if springing for the cost of a very high quality natural food is not an option (most of them are quite pricey), check the ingredient labels. avoid foods with "by-products" high on the ingredient list. especially if it doesnt specify where it comes from (i.e poultry by-product which just means it came from some sort of poultry but does not say whether it was chicken, turkey, etc). avoid foods that use corn or any version of it as the first grain ingredient. brewers rice or brown rice are much better alternatives. when i brought my kitten home my adult cat started experiencing a great deal of diarrhea from eating the kitten food. i ended up transitioning her to the purina one for sensitive systems which contains turkey as its main ingredient and brewers rice as its main grain ingredient. she did much better as this was much easier on her belly. now that sampson is old enough for adult cat food (after feeding them separately for 10 months) they both eat the purina one chicken and rice formula.

Don't give them yogurt. Cats are lactose intolerant and that means they can't eat dairy products at all.

feed them bread
