What's going on when a cat has green diarrhea?

Green diarrhea in cats may be caused by improper diet, parasite infection, or enteritis. If your cat's diarrhea is not severe and its mental state and appetite are not significantly affected, you can first feed your cat a suitable amount of probiotics to regulate its intestines and observe its bowel movements. However, if your cat's diarrhea frequency is still high or other abnormal symptoms occur, it is recommended to take your cat to the pet hospital as soon as possible for inspection. After diagnosis, timely treatment can be carried out.

Improper diet

If your cat has recently eaten green foods that are difficult to digest, such as green teething rings, it can lead to green diarrhea. Therefore, owners can observe if their cats have eaten green foods in the past few days. If so, stop feeding them immediately and feed them some probiotics or intestinal cans to help restore normal intestinal function.

Parasite infection

If your cat has green diarrhea and exhibits other symptoms, such as loss of appetite and weight loss, it may be infected with parasites. Owners should take their cats to the pet hospital promptly to confirm whether they are infected with parasites and carry out deworming treatment in a timely manner. Meanwhile, to prevent parasite infection, owners should regularly deworm their cats both internally and externally and keep their living environment clean and hygienic.

Enteritis

If your cat suffers from enteritis, it may also experience green diarrhea, along with symptoms such as loss of appetite, lethargy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools. At this time, owners should pay attention to their cat's diet and mental state, and take them to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to recover intestinal health promptly. Additionally, to prevent enteritis, owners can provide their cats with clean and hygienic food and living conditions, and avoid overfeeding or feeding them too much human food.
