What to do when your cat has watery stools

There are many causes of watery stools in cats, such as food allergies, bacterial enteritis, parasite infections, infectious enteritis, and toxin ingestion. Generally, the appropriate treatment should be selected according to the cause, and it is not recommended to use blind medication. If there are no treatment conditions, you can feed your cat pet probiotics, kaolin, and other intestinal regulators.

The causes of the above symptoms in cats should first be considered food-related factors, such as indigestion and food allergies. In this case, it is recommended to stop feeding and administer digestive drugs to the cat, then observe the cat's condition. If necessary, it is advised to bring the cat to the pet hospital for treatment in a timely manner.

Next, consider bacterial enteritis, which mainly occurs due to food stimulation or poor attention to diet. The clinical symptoms include watery diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and depression. It is recommended to feed the cat drugs containing ingredients such as amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium, doxycycline, etc., and also use adsorbing diarrhea remedies containing ingredients such as kaolin.

Furthermore, consider parasite infections, which usually cause symptoms such as diarrhea, rough hair, and weight loss. Commonly infective parasites include roundworms, tapeworms, and coccidia. It is advised to choose appropriate deworming drugs according to the type of parasite infection the cat has, such as using drugs containing milbemycin for roundworm infections. Infectious enteritis refers to a more severe intestinal disease caused by viral infection, such as feline parvovirus infection or feline coronavirus infection. This type of disease usually requires scientific treatment at a pet hospital, with specific treatment principles including inhibiting virus proliferation, controlling secondary infections, stopping vomiting and diarrhea, and providing necessary supportive treatment.
