Rupert drinking lots of water

My kitty has been drinking lots and lots of water. More than normal I think. He had been sick with a cold and tapeworms. He is currently on antibiotics. He also has diarriea which he had before the meds. He is gassy and farts "wet farts".

The vet tested for other parasite and found nothing. He is on a prescription diet of high protien, low carbs.

Should I be worried? He is only 5 months old and I just adopted him last Wednesday.

It is dry food and he is eating very well. Other than his poo issue, he is doing great. Playful and loving and curious. I'm glad he is not a picky eater.....so far he has eaten everything I put in front of him. This morning, I put the special diet in all of the food bowls so that he doesn't eat the other food that may be contributing to the diarreah. My other cats will have to eat the food too.

Antibiotics can cause loose stools or diarrhea. A probiotic supplement might help.

probios , bene bac are two probiotics often found at a pet store ....

did you get rupert from a breeder or a shelter?? Has he been tested for parasites and things like cocidea??

I don't know what probotics are. I got Rupert from a rescue organization. He was thrown out by his former owner and then rescued. He has been to the vet and was tested (and treated) for worms. Not sure what coccidia is or if he was tested for that.

probiotics are good bacteria in your s and ruperts intestines
