My cat started having diarrhea on July 18; it was mild at first, got very loose around the 20th, and has improved in recent days
Improving diarrhea is a positive sign, but keep watching and help the cat recover. Suggestions: briefly withhold food and observe frequency, color, and texture; if it keeps improving it may be mild digestion or diet, but see a vet if it worsens. Feed easily digested low-fat food and water, add probiotics, and see a vet if it persists with vomiting or pain.
Cat Indigestion: Symptoms and Solutions
Cat indigestion usually stems from poor feeding habits and shows up as vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, or foul-smelling stool. Mild cases improve with short fasting and pet probiotics, while persistent or feverish symptoms need a vet check. This guide walks through the common signs and practical fixes.
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.
A Young Cat Has Had Diarrhea for Over Two Days, Now the Lower Belly Is Flat and Soft, the Hind Legs Barely Move, the Limbs Are Weak, It Keeps Sleeping and Eats Nothing
Based on your description, repeated diarrhea, refusal to eat or drink, and limb weakness over two days are signs of dehydration from disease. Repeated diarrhea and prolonged fasting cause electrolyte loss and imbalance, and without prompt care the condition can be fatal.
Why Is My Cat Not Eating and What Should I Do?
A cat that won't eat may have respiratory, digestive, or dental disease, a foreign body, or simply dislike the food — stale kibble, sudden changes, or boring shape. Long fasting risks fatal hepatic lipidosis, so fix the cause: clear the nose, vary the diet, and see a vet for illness.
What to Do When Your Cat Has Mouth Sores (and Which Medicine to Use)
Mouth sores in cats are often caused by calicivirus or dental disease. If eating is affected, see a vet to confirm the cause before medicating, to avoid dehydration and low blood sugar from prolonged fasting.
Why Is My Cat Vomiting Yellow Fluid and How to Treat It
Cats vomit yellow fluid due to hairballs, diet indiscretion, gastritis, or viral disease (panleukopenia, coronavirus). Treatment matches the cause: hairball paste, short fasting, probiotics, or urgent vet care for viral infection.
Do Cats Need to Fast Before and After Deworming?
Generally, cats do not need to fast before or after an internal deworming treatment—the medication can even be mixed into food. Observe your cat for 4–6 hours afterward for side effects, avoid diet changes and baths around treatment, and follow the recommended deworming frequency based on age and lifestyle.
My cat just arrived, rarely ate kibble, so I gave cat treats, and it vomited twice this afternoon-the vomited food was the treats
If a newly arrived cat vomits cat treats twice, stop the treats and let the gut rest, fast 4-6 hours with water, then resume easily digestible food in small meals. Watch for continued vomiting; adjust diet back to kibble and avoid human food, consulting a vet if it worsens.
This morning my cat vomited clear sticky fluid like saliva dripping from its mouth, threw up kibble once, later drank a little water and slept, then at 1pm vomited clear fluid still dripping-what’s wrong?
White mucus or saliva vomit usually comes from bitter substances, long hunger, poisoning, stress, hairballs, or severe pain. If saliva flows after vomiting, it may have licked something irritating (mosquito liquid, medicine, insects, chili); rinse the mouth with warm salt water and watch. Empty-stomach foaming means hunger; fast 4-6 hours then feed bland food and probiotics; see a vet if it recurs.
