Loose stool?
Hi, our 4/5 yr old cat recently started having loose stools. We switched his
food a few months back, to Iams , since he's a bit heavy. He's been eating the food fine with no problems, but since maybe 2 weeks ago his stools are loose, and bigger than normal. He doesn't eat human food ( once in a great while he gets a treat, but hasn't had any in two months or more), and shows no other signs of being sick. His eyes are clear & bright, and he plays and gets around as normal. Any suggestions before we take Spooky to the vet? |

Make sure to switch gradually so it doesn't upset his digestive track even more. You might want to bring a sample to the vets in case there's a parasite in the stool. (Does he go outdoors? He could have gotten into something.) Good luck, and take care, Rene |
