Antibiotic question

Hello all!

My 5 month old kitten was placed on Otomax ear drops last Friday for an ear infection. A few days after we started the drops, he began having very loose stools. I called his vet to tell him, and he said that the combination of the antibiotic, anti-fungal, and steroid in the drops normally causes this. He also said that if he continues to act normal, eat and drink normally, that I shouldn't worry. He has continued to be his normal self. I was just wondering, is there anything I can do, or anything I can give him to ease the diarrhea? A friend suggested yogurt to help build up healthy bacteria, but cats aren't supposed to have milk products if I remember correctly.

Thanks!

If you don't want to give him yogurt, then try plain canned pumpkin.  Be sure it's not the pumpkin pie filling with spices, just plain pureed pumpkin.  Mix it into wet food twice a day.

You are correct that most kitties are lactose intolerant, but they usually do okay with a little bit of yogurt.
