Hi,
I am very concerned right now because two of my five cats have diarrhea. This started on Monday when I noticed that one of my younger ones who is almost 20 months old did a loose stool in her box. To be honest, I wasn't sure which one because two sisters share a box and sleep in a back room together to keep them out of nightly mischief. With Christmas decorations around now too, it's for their own safety. I'm pretty sure I've figured out who it is. I figured she ate too much and it would pass. However, it's still going on. Also, now I have discovered that my cat Grace's sister, Delilah is also now doing loose stools, not as bad as Adele (the 20 month old) but still very soft consistency. I'm very, very worried this could be something like FIP. I spoke to the vet and he didn't advise I bring them in just yet. He said with the holidays and the fact that I admitted I gave them some turkey for Thanksgiving and had changed their flavor of cat food, that could be a factor. He also said it might be a virus. He said if their behavior is normal, which it is, it should correct itself but to check in tomorrow if the issues are still going on. Any advice is appreciated.
