Judging by the number of posts in these forums loose stools are a fairly common problem with cats. Also judging by the posts there are many, many possible solutions.
I thought it would be helpful if everyone who has faced the problem and found a solution could post their solution for the benefit of others.
Please include any known trigger for the loose stools, like anitbiotic use or a diagnosis of parasites and whether the cat had any other health problems.
I'll kick it off with a description of Coco's loose stool problem.
I adopted Coco when she was 10 months old. She had loose stools from the beginning. I later found out it was a common problem with other cats from the same cattery. She tested negative for all parasites including T.Foetus and had no other health problems.
After trying *tons* of different foods I finally found that a prebiotic/probiotic/digestive enzyme supplement that when added to every meal resulted in normal stools. The supplement was Eagle Pack Holistic Solutions. I found she could eat anything and have normal stools as long as the supplement was added.
I recently found that switching her to an all raw diet also results in normal stools. I no longer have to give her the supplement.
