cat with diaorrhea - but only when she goes outside

The problem persists, she's fine when kept indoors.

However, my wife took her to the vet today. He was just as stumped as
we are. Says she's a perfectly healthy-looking moggy, and has no idea
what could be causing the trouble. He wondered if more frequent
worming might help (probably not - the problem was there immediately
after worming recently) and wondered if a more bland diet might help
on the offchance her digestive system was a bit delicate. (We could
try that; but he's only guessing).

So, not really further forward.

Meanwhile you don't have a problem if you keep her inside.

No physical problem. But it's quite clear she'd really love to be
allowed out. Not that either cat ever goes far - but there are lots of
hidey holes and space to run in the garden.



As a footnote, whatever was causing the problem seems to have gone away
of its own accord. She's been fine the past weeks; just as well as the
hot weather has meant leaving doors and windows open. We still have no
idea what the problem was, or whether it'll recur.

So it goes with many health things. A friend of mine got hives all
over his legs for several days, then they went away. No idea what
caused it. Thanks for keeping up posted.
