Ok, as some of you know, I have two cats. Well, one of them started having a problem with loose stool on Tuesday (6/11). She is otherwise fine. She is still eating, drinking, and playing. She seems maybe slightly more lovable, but that could be looking for it because I know there is a problem.
Here are some details (grossness about to ensue): The stool is loose about the consistancy of a cake, or brownie batter. I smooshed it around and didn't find any parasites in it. It smells really bad. They are free-fed Nutro Natural Care Kitten, and have been eating it for well over five months now without prior problems. I lost a spider that I killed with Raid some weeks back in my bedroom, I have though of the possibility that she found it and ate it. Normally, I take the dead creatue to the toilet, and throughly clean the area that was raided, but this bugger got away, so maybe she ate that.
Also, my friend just went through something similar with her cat, and nothing was really diagnosed, but we went through three weeks of bologna with the vet. And I am really afraid the vet isn't going to be of help, but I am going to call now.
So, to the question (sorry about the long post) has anyone experienced this? Please tell me about it and what was done and any information you think might be useful. I really don't want to give her a Kitty Imodium if it is a virus that just needs to go through her system. But I hate the idea she isn't feeling well. And to make matters worse I am going on vacation on the 29th of this month, and I am very worried that she won't be better by then. Help!
