Suddenly noticed my cat has yellow soft stools today; it didn’t eat anything inappropriate, just dry food, but could it have caught a chill from being taken out yesterday?
Soft stools may be a sign of gut flora imbalance caused by a drop in immunity after being chilled or frightened during the outing. In this case, give the cat some pet probiotics to regulate the gut, and keep it warm with a single, consistent diet. If symptoms persist or worsen, give an appropriate amount of amoxicillin clavulanate and bismuth subcarbonate tablets to reduce inflammation and stop diarrhea. If there's no relief after medication, take it to a vet for a fecal and blood test to check for intestinal parasites or other diseases.
