Default Re: Cat having diarrhea. How to treat?

Usually for emergency cases, I will usually keep a bottle of Kaolin Pectin at home. When any of my cats have diarrhea I will usually give a dose. Kaolin Pectin will help to harden the stools. If it still persists I will send to the vet for further checkup. My Vet told me any cat having diarrhea for more than 3 days is considered chronic diarrhea and need immediate attention.

Not only food can cause diarrhea but also poor management of the cats such us feeding and drinking bowls not washed daily, tap water given to cats (must give boiled water). All these need to be looked into to avoid the cats from having tummy upset.
