Why is my cat having diarrhea?
Diarrhea usually means a digestive problem from food intolerance, parasites, bacteria, or viruses. Watch frequency and spirits; if good and not frequent, give pet probiotics and kaolin. If frequent with listlessness and no appetite, take it for tests to tell virus, parasite, or bacteria apart; parasite and bacterial enteritis improve in days, viral is worse.
My 2-month-old kitten has had soft stool with blood, then diarrhea after a food change – how much smectite and should I fast it?
Long diarrhea can warrant a one-day fast with glucose or fluids to avoid dehydration. It may be sudden diet change, parasites, bacterial enteritis, stress or panleukopenia; test first.
What happens if a dog has a persistent fever?

Dog Vomits and Has Tomato-Colored Watery Stool, Now Lethargic
Vomiting with tomato-colored stool and lethargy strongly suggests canine parvovirus, common in unvaccinated puppies. Fast and seek immediate viral screening; other causes like bone injury or bacterial enteritis need differentiation. Parvo is often fatal, so hospitalize for fluids and antiviral, hemostatic, anti-inflammatory and antiemetic care.
My cat has had diarrhea since the day before yesterday; once there were undigested vegetable leaves in it, and this morning there was red liquid. The discharge the last two days looks like the picture – with bits mixed in. Its spirits are good.
Based on your description, the cat's diarrhea may be indigestion from improper diet; if there is red liquid it may indicate secondary bacterial enteritis - for instance, the cat ate unclean vegetable leaves. Cats are carnivores, and some raw plants can cause indigestion and diarrhea. In this case, it is recommended to withhold food for one day and give the cat pet anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and probiotic medication, spacing the probiotics, anti-inflammatories, and anti-diarrheals about 30 minutes apart to avoid affecting the probiotics. After the stools improve, feed only a small amount of easily digestible kibble or staple canned food. Finally, if it keeps recurring without improvement, parasites, the living environment, or contagious disease may be the cause, so take the cat to the vet for tests and treatment.
At first loose stool with a soybean-sized lump on the belly, then bloody loose stool, but the belly lump shrank and nearly vanished
Loose stool with blood usually means gut infection or damage from parasites or a foreign object scraping the gut, but parvovirus, bacterial enteritis, or constipation are also possible. See a vet to find the cause; for parasites, deworm and use gut-lining repair drugs and probiotics.
I force-fed my kitten goat milk formula today and it vomited at night
Vomiting after force-feeding goat milk formula may be gut irritation or stress, and underlying gut disease like bacterial enteritis, gastritis, parasites, or panleukopenia can also cause it. If the kitten is energetic it is usually fine; give probiotics and acid-reducing medicine, but if vomiting persists or worsens, see a vet.
My Two-Month-Old Cat Was Brought Home the Day Before Yesterday, Fed Cat Food Directly Without Transition, Now Has Yellow Stools and Low Energy. Can I Give It Probiotics, and Should I Withhold Food?
Cat diarrhea is usually caused by parasites, bacterial enteritis, food-change indigestion, or panleukopenia. If the cat's energy and appetite are normal, the cause is likely indigestion from the new environment or food, and short fasting with anti-diarrhea and anti-inflammatory medication may help.
Cat dry heaving, squatting, head forward twitching, cough-like sound, low spirits—two of three cats affected
Dry heaving has many causes: acute gastroenteritis, bacterial enteritis, gas or indigestion; upper respiratory infection or allergens with throat phlegm; hairballs or foreign bodies blocking gut/esophagus; or contagious diseases like panleukopenia, FIP or rhinotracheitis. Have a vet examine the cats to find the cause before treatment.
