Cat Diarrhea Treatment

This page is all about cat diarrhea treatment and how both you and your vet can help stop this rather unpleasant and upsetting illness.
It is difficult to know if your cat has diarrhea if it goes to the toilet outside, but keeping it in with a litter tray is much easier.
![]() Feline Plantaeris for Cat Diarrhea - $ 39.95 Stops diarrhea and dehydration. Works quickly yet gently. All-natural, no harsh chemicals. Regulates catĘs intestinal functions. |
(This is another reason to keep them indoors until they are well again, so you can prevent them from getting scraps of food from elsewhere that may be upsetting their stomachs).
After 24 hours, you can then slowly start to re-introduce a bland diet. Try white meat only or plain fish. Give them only small amounts 4 to 6 times a day, but in total only about half of their usual daily amount.
Your vet will do a physical examination of your cat including taking their temperature, feeling their abdomen for signs of tenderness and swelling, and looking for signs of dehydration. They will want to ask you lots of questions including:
Your vet may want to take a specimen of faeces for analysis or do some abdominal x-rays. Blood, thyroid, and other tests may be required and possibly even biopsies or exploratory surgery in serious cases.
Any further cat diarrhea treatment obviously depends on a correct diagnosis, so it is not really helpful to go into specifics here.
Another point to remember is that some bacteria and parasites that cause cat diarrhea are contagious, both to other animals but also humans as well.
So if there are any other members of your household, human or animal, who are unwell at the same time, it is very important to mention this to the vet!
Watching out for cat diarrhea is an important part of cat care, and knowing what to do about it and when to take them to the vets will help ensure your pet remains a healthy and happy cat!
