My cat Charlie has diarrhea and has had it for a few days now. It isn't real frequent, but he goes around the house "oozing" out of his back end. It smells pretty bad and he keeps dripping on the carpet which is a pain to clean up. I thought it may have been from him chewing on the Christmas tree and drinking water out of the base. I took the tree down on Tuesday. I called the vet and she thought maybe it was from the Christmas tree as well. Well it is Wednesday night and he is still oozing and has gone in the litter box at least once. He does not appear to be sick. He eats, he drinks, he plays and does everything he normally does. I have another cat and she is fine and they share the same water, food dish and litter box. I cannot think of anything else he would have had access to that would give him diarrhea (last year he ate pine garland...I kept it well out of reach this year). Does anybody have any advice for me? The vet said they had no open appointments today, they are in Surgery on Thursdays and they don't do appointments on Fridays, so that pretty much leaves this week out. The vet also suggested feeding him a bland died of boiled chicken, rice or boiled hamburger...but he wouldn't touch any of that with a 10 foot pole. There has been no changes in their food, and the only thing that has been different is the Christmas tree. Do you think I should give it another day or two and see if it clears up? I know this doesn't take the place of a vets advice, but I am really bugged about this and thought maybe you all could offer some suggestions/advice.
Thanks,
Jeremiah
