Both my cats seem to have sensitive tummies and often get diarrhea. Lately Joshua has been just fine but Kinah is getting some diarrhea again. I took her to the vet last week and the vet suggested I could try some probiotics. I have sprinkled them on her food once a day for about a week now... and no improvement so far. In fact, it seems to be getting worst. The diarrhea is pretty much liquid now.

Should I keep with the probiotics for a bit longer to see or switch to another plan of attack? (next step would be to try hypoallergenic food). Things are not critical right now, Kinah is otherwise healthy and acting normally, but I still hate to know she's having those problems.
