My cat has diarrhea after Tropiclean Fresh Breath. Should I see a vet?

As long as Tinkerbell is behaving and eating normally, try withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte during this period. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with one table of food and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal then transition slowly to her regular diet. See your veterinarian if the diarrhea doesn't resolve or if Tinkerbell begins vomiting or develops letha, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

I am so sorry your cat has been having diarrhea! I would contact your veterinarian since your cat just had anesthesia for his dental procedure. Sometimes anesthesia can cause GI upset. Also, it sounds like you just changed the food. Did you do a slow transition of food? A quick transition of food can cause GI upset as well. I would recommend starting a probiotic and also contacting your veterinarian. Your veterinarian may be able to help you by sending home a medication, like metronidazole, for the diarrhea. Here are some articles that may give you some additional advice: 1. Diarrhea in cats: https://www.petcoach.co/article/diarrhea-in-cats/ 2.

Poor Kila! The diarrhea could be due to many conditions including eating something she shouldn’t have, bacterial over growth, parasites or even organ disease. If the diarrhea has continued beyond 24 hours, I recommend to have her examined by the veterinarian. With continued diarrhea, there are often bacterial shifts in the gut that will make matters worse regardless of the initial cause. Make sure to bring in a sample of fresh stool. The doctor will check her for parasites and bacterial over growth. Many times a bland diet can help and then a slow, gradual introduction to the normal food can be done. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! That is absolutely possible. I would stop this supplement to see if that improves. Hopefully, it does. However, if no improvement is noted, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!

This new treat could be causing Beanz to have diarrhea. I'd stop giving him the treats, and I can give you a home remedy for his diarrhea. Withhold food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If she is having diarrhea after the treatment, there is likely something else wrong. I would recommend having her re-examined and do further diagnostics like X-rays and blood work to determine why. If she is still eating and drinking and energetic, you could wait until Tuesday. But if she is vomiting, I would have her treated sooner so she doesn’t get dehydrated. Good luck and kisses to Tuffy!

It sounds as though the chili sauce caused a bit of an upset stomach for Holly. Since she is still active and eating/drinking normally, it is perfectly reasonable to wait another 24 hours before seeking veterinary attention. You can try offering her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken to try to settle her stomach over the next few days. However, if Holly stops eat and drinking, becomes lethargic, or experiences vomiting or more frequent diarrhea, she should be examined by a vet more urgently. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
