Hey all,
New to this. Very new, but also very desperate, so I am willing to look foolish if the answers are obvious. I recently took in stray I named Greg McMurphy because he was getting very sick outside and other cats were ganging up on him. When I got him to a vet, he tested positive for hookworms and FIV (though I am having him retested as I had a cat previously that showed up positive but then in all subsequent tests was negative!)
Anyhow, so he's been treated for the hookworms and an upper respiratory infection, but he has not stopped having very grainy, bulky, yellow diarrhea. He cannot seem to control it and will even just go standing up. He's eating and drinking normally, but he seems...sad. He's not his usual purring and lovey, energetic self.
Any ideas as to what can be causing this? I have been feeding him 9 Lives Plus Care and there have been no dietary changes etc.
