Cat Forum / General Topics / October 2006diarrhoea in 8 y/o he/cat
Dear advisers, my 9 years old cat has more liquid feces twice or three times a day. This happens two days ago , also with vomiting. vomiting ceased on the same day, but more frequent and defecation persists.. Until now he was eating usual food. Do you think that he should starve ? Many thanks for suggestions sincerely yours Alenka > Dear advisers, > my 9 years old cat has more liquid feces twice or three times a day.

Take your cat to the Vet asap to find out what is causing the loose stool. cats can dehydrate really quickly, make sure he is taking in lots of liquids (water preferably). see the vet, they can advise. > Dear advisers, > my 9 years old cat has more liquid feces twice or three times a day.

The problem is that he is an in-door cat the whole life through, gets panic attack when he have to go out to vet. So, I'd like to cure him at home, his general condition is good, he is hungry... regards Alenka > cats can dehydrate really quickly, make sure he is taking in lots of > liquids [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> Many thanks for suggestions >> sincerely yours Alenka > thanks, for responds- > he drinks more than usually.

If you try to fix the symptom (the loose stools) with out finding the cause, you could do more harm than good. Do what is best for the cat. If your child had panic attacks going to the doctor, but was very sick, you would bring the child regardless. Thank you, Connie. Our cat Ivan has been rehydrated yesterday by infusion. The reason for the diarrhea probably was raw meat he had eaten a day before. He fortunately drinks a lot , eats some diet cookies and tried a piece of boiled chicken... Today he hasn't diarrhea any more. Best regards Alenka >> thanks, for responds- >> he drinks more than usually.

There is a reason why the vet goes to vet school for all those years. Unless you, the pet owner, also went to school for all those years then you can't diagnos the problem. Some things you can diagnos at home. This ain't one of them. If your mom/dad/sister/brother had a heart attack would you diagnos the problem yourself at home or would you call 911 and get them to the hospital fast?
