It's weird, last time she took antibiotics I never had this problem. Could it be her age. She's 17 and still a healthy cat
Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication that's used to prevent/control/eliminate pain in small animals, including cats. I'm not aware of any of is indications, nor even its side effects that might affect intestinal hydration.Talk to your vet about meloxicam. It helps to firm up stool.....
Talk to your vet about meloxicam. It helps to firm up stool and can be safely given while on antibiotics. I am a vet tech and recently my own cat went through the same thing.
Continue to make sure your cat is drinking enough water as well s8nce soft stool will dehydrate faster.
I need to reinforce that meloxicam is not for this problem. It is an anti-inflammatory and can be contra-indicated for renal issues.Talk to your vet about meloxicam.

Good that you are getting results! Some folks use it ongoingly. If you'd prefer not to, probably best to keep giving it maybe for a week or two until the antibiotics are completely out of your cat's system. Then, you can stop it and see what happens. If the stools become soft again, you can restart it.How long should I use this for??? I'm seeing improvements now
Oh, I am sorry, from your previous comments, I thought her diet consisted of a lot of treats recently.My cat will only eat treats... Yeah I been feeding her treats to get her to eat. Sometimes she'll eat her can food... As long as she is eating something
Probiotics take time to work. I think it took a couple months for the Probiotics to slowly bud in Ghost's system. They aren't an instant fix.I gave her that probiotic everyday. It worked for a day. Her diet hasn't changed. She did stopped eating for a day and put her in appetite stimulant. I noticed more mushy stool since then. It's mushy not liquid at least.
