Cat went into heat, sent to stud, came back less active, eats little, yellow diarrhea – why, what to do?
Cat diarrhea has many causes - parasites, diet, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, panleukopenia. Stress from a new environment or stud trip can lower immunity and cause bacterial enteritis; FIP is possible if appetite/spirit drop and it thins. If no hospital, try gut antibiotics and probiotics; deworm after.
My cat had feline distemper 10 days ago and was given IV fluids and a blood transfusion, but now it still has diarrhea. Why, and what can I do?
Diarrhea can persist after distemper if parasites or bacterial enteritis are present, or because antibiotics disrupted the gut flora. Probiotics and a gastrointestinal prescription diet are recommended, with follow-up testing.

Internal Parasites in Turtles: Flukes and Protozoa
Flukes and protozoa are among the more common internal parasites in pet turtles, and knowing their signs helps you act before they drain your turtle's health. Flukes lodge in the liver, pancreas, and gut, causing appetite loss and bloody stool, while protozoa such as amoebas inflame the intestine and often trigger bacterial enteritis at the same time. Both are diagnosed through fecal checks and treated with specific dewormers plus gut support. This guide lays out the symptoms and the matching treatment for each parasite.
My newly bought cat had diarrhea from day 3, then water diarrhea that won’t stop even with anti-diarrheals — what’s wrong?
Persistent water diarrhea can come from food allergy, bacterial enteritis, parasites, infectious enteritis, or toxins. Treatment must match the cause — don't medicate blindly. The diarrhea is now severe and unresponsive, so take the cat to a vet for targeted care to avoid dehydration and danger.
