Runny pregnant cat poo

Just wondering if anyone can help me out.  I just picked up a pregnant cat and they told me she was due anytime in the next 2 weeks or so.  This little cat is only 1.5 yr old and it's her 3rd litter poor thing.  Anyway she has very runny poo and her farts and her poo can clear a room.  It's is really really bad.  Is this normal of pregnant cats?  I don't know any of her history so I can't say her poop was fine now it isn't?  Can anyone tell me how to help her out and try to firm up her poo?  Also it's not just her poo her pee stinks really bad too?? So confused?? If anyone out there can help me out I would really appreciate it.  Thanks

It would be good with a vet check up, not least this with smelly pee is troubling me... She may need antibiotics for it.

My guess her runny poo and farts are because she has worms.  A neglected cat has worms almost 100%.

There are presciptions free OK deworming preparates  if you look a little around and know what to look for, but the best here is to go to the vet, as soon you can manage.

For a normal runny poo a good home remedy is plain, unsweetened, crushed pumpkin, as they sell canned.  Some probiotic may also be good.

Observe, these home remedies although both good by themselves, are NOT sufficient here.

Keep reporting and asking!

Tx for helping this girl!

Good luck!

I agree it would be very good to discuss this with  a vet.   

 Sometimes toward the end they can have some looser stools maybe due to the uterus pressing on their other organs.    and it can also be due to having to eat more than usual.  and especially if they are eating much of a food with a lot of plant ingredients ( which cats'  bodies are not made to digest well)  that can lead to gas and loose poop. 

But  it might also be she has some problem like intestinal parasites -- which also causes very stinky poo  ( Sometimes that can also be from just upset digestion  for example a food she isn't used to.)    

 Unfortunately  it may   not be a good idea to de-worm her this late in pregnancy  because it might induce her to have them too soon and premature kittens do not have a good chance of surviving. 

 She CAN be dewormed when the kittens are born.     The kittens could be dewormed as young as 2 weeks.    In both the queen and kittens  it needs to be repeated. but  don't just grab any  over the counter medicine.    you need something approved by a vet.  and also they would want to test  to see if she has other kinds of parasites that might need a different medicine.    

To firm up her poop,   I would add a probiotic.  you can get some for humans at a health food store.    Here is a recent thread on the topic  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/262587/probiotics-search-human-grade-and-cfus

 You can also add a little canned pumpkin  (make sure it is just plain pumpkin  not pie mix with spices and sugar) 

Personally I feed more raw to help firm up stools.   I feed the Natures Variety Instinct Raw Frozen.  and  I would recommend not feeding any more plant source ingredients than that has which is 5%.   A lot of people make their own , using a recipe like Dr. Pierson's on catinfo.org,  and there are other ways to feed raw without grinding,  that if you are interested you could check out the raw feeding forum here.  ]

The pee stinking very bad  could be that she is dehydrated  ( which makes the urine more concentrated   so there is more of an odor).  

But it also might be because she has a urinary tract infection ,  which can make the pee smell very bad.   You would need to get a urine sample tested at the vet to rule that out. 

 To check for dehydration ,  take a pinch of skin on her back  or between shoulder blades,  gently pull it up  and let go.  It should immediately snap back into place,  in a split second.   If it takes longer than a second,  she is dehydrated.  If longer than 2 seconds  , there is a good chance she may be dehydrated enough that she needs fluids given with a needle -- it can be done subcutaneously (" sub-q" ) which means under the skin,  if the dehydration is not severe.  that can be done at home if you have the right supplies and know how.   But if the dehydration is severe , she would need to be put on an IV  for at least a day .

 If  the skin took between 1 and 2 seconds to  go back down ,  you could try giving her oral plain Pedialyte.   or make some homemade Pedialyte to give orally.    ( I think this is a good idea anyway because of the diarrhea   -- she may be a bit dehydrated even if you can't tell. )  you can give a few cc's every 15 min.  or try adding some to wet food and see if she will eat it.  

If you think she is worse dehydrated,  she needs to go to a vet.   and in any case,  I think you need to at least talk to a vet about her condition.
