I need help. My cat Lola was a stray. She was not quite a year old when she had 6 kittens. I took her in. Before she had the babies, she had explosive diarrhea. Even after having the babies, the diarrhea continued. We also found out that she had worms. By the time kittens were 8 weeks, I had dewormed her twice and had given her 2 types of antibiotics.
She still continues with the diarrhea. Last week, it was like a big pile of bloob! Not super running but like a big pile of cow poop. So these past few days, I have feed her nothing but chicken and rice. Now she is dripping light yellow stool with rice in it and has a numerous amount of poop with rice in it. But it almost looks like bile. I plan on getting blood work tomorrow, but does anyone have any suggestions?

I am glad you are getting your Vet. involved. I hope he has good answers for you. Some cats cannot handle cooked foods and have diarrhea until switched to raw foods. It may be worth a try for your kitty. A veterinarian has written extensively on it at www.catinfo.org. I use her recipe for my cat who has epilepsy.
If your current Veterinarian can not rectify this problem seek a second opinion ASAP in the best interest of the poor animal as this prolonged situtation needs immediate attention. Good luck keep us all informed.
Yes, talk to your vet. But in the meantime you can give her small doses of Pepto Bismol. No more than 1/2 tsp every 6 hours.
About 20 years ago, one of my dogs had diarrhea & my vet recommended putting some Metamucil in his food, as it helps with both constipation and loose stools. The fiber in the Metamucil helps loose stools to firm up & hard stools to soften. You might try a half teaspoon per meal to start with, for a cat. I don't remember the dose for the dog, but he was large. Good luck! I hope you find the answer soon, because this poor cat will never be really healthy until this stops. Please let us know how she does.
