My 10 year old female cat has this issue. Originally she was eating 9 lives dry food and friskies while she was a stray, her stools were fine, you think back then she would have been infected with something living life on the streets. We adopted her and she got fixed,vaccinated, and de-wormed. We also continued feeding her 9 lives canned food. The first time she went to the vet they found worms and de-wormed her and she was better for a few months, but recently she was tested and everything came back fine.
After 2 years of having her (and another cat addition) she has diarrhea with blood sometimes, on her butt she gets blood and mucus and she wipes it all over the floor and sometimes its so bad we have to wipe her rear it's covered in loose stools. Before the episodes, we notice she gets severe foul smelling gas bad enough to clear a room. Once in a while she has gotten amoxicillan for her URI, and i'm wondering if the antibiotics took a toll on her digestive system? (i've had that problem with chronic diarrhea and had to go on strong medication for months to fix it from too many antibiotics messing my system up, and now take probiotic pills if I have to go on antibiotic to prevent it again) But thanks to probiotics i'm fine now as long as I take them when i'm on antibiotic.
mabye once or twice a week she gets it. Sometimes she doesnt have it for a week or two, and others multiple times a week. We switched to science diet for senior cats as she is 10 years old now. She also eats friskies canned food and she loves crunchy treats she is the chow hound out of our two cats. But what she eats seem to not change the diarrhea.
Our house is very stressfull we have my 1 year old Nephew over at least twice a week and he is so active and chases the cats and throws things that the cats get scared but he is too young to know what he is doing scares them and we cant keep him restrained he needs to play you nkow. Then we have baby gates all over and it prevents the cats from getting to the litterbox or food unless we move the gate for them. And if your wondering why we dont lock them in a room with food and litterbox, they fight if confined and cant have their "own space" and my female cat will panic and literally breathe so heavy and will get so nervous we cannot confine them to a room without severe agression. she has been stressed out since the new cat years ago but she adjusted to him as long as they have space, and she is not very social when company is around, which is very often so i'm wondering if this is severe nerves causing it?
Our vets havent helped, and I dont know what it is and without a vets help i'm clueless as to what is could be. Is there probiotics for cats to restore good bacteria in digestive system? What about something if this is all nerves causing diarrhea? it's so crazy on the house that I cannot focus on the cats health as so many factors affect everyday life. My cat needs a place to chill out and relax and not be bothered and a monitered diet people always feed the cats food without me knowing, and my house is never calm.
My cat is the type if she goes outside she is happy and she stays in our yard and sleeps in the shrubs. I let her out when company is over because she gets so upset and scared heavy breathing and hiding, at least outside she can remain calm until company leaves then she can come in and relax.
