My kitten (about 8 months old) Cy, has always been very active and easy going. However, for the past... 5-6 days he hasn't been himself.
The first day that I noticed something was wrong was about 6 days ago. In the morning he was feeling fine at around 2 pm he made a mess outside his litterbox. For the last 6 months, he has never made a mistake. He had 2 cases of diarrhea within about 30 minutes. I was very worried and called a friend of mine from work. (I work at a humane society.) He wasn't dehydrated or vomiting then.
The next day he seemed to be better and was back to his old self. Later that day, I found vomit. (I have 3 other cats so I wasn't sure whose it was.) However, his stool seemed to be better.
Today, I came home and he had very soft stool almost liquidy. And it looks as if he's had 5 bowel movements. He also threw up 2 hairballs today.
He hasn't been fed any of the recalled foods (All of my cats have been eating Purina Cat Chow Indoor Formula, and Friskies wet food - until recently when I switched to Nine Lives.)
I thought that maybe his stomach was upset from the switch, but that was about a week and a half ago. Now I'm slightly worried. Should I take him to the vet? He isn't dehydrated now either, and his activity level is normal.
Thanks! Your insight is appreciated.
