Soft, slimey stools?

Ever since Mollie was diagnosed with tonsillitis a few weeks back, her
stools have been soft.

The tonsillitis cleared up within a couple of days, but these stools have
remained. We thought it might have been the antibiotics, but it would have
cleared up by now if it was.

The stools still seem formed, but they just look slimey. I have just
cleared her litter box from today, and one stool looked like it had a big
bubble on it. Apart from this, she seems fine in herself. She is still
eating and drinking normally, and playing havoc! She is 2 in January.

Thanks

Jo

What are you feeding her? I understand that you are feeding her the
same food as before, right?

You could mix a little live culture yogurt in. She might need help
replenishing healthy flora after the antibiotics.

Yep, she's eating the same - Whiskas biscuits mainly, with half a Whiskas
pouch here and there. She also has a special Sheba once a week - the prawn
one.

Could it be anything serious?

I think Karen may be right. Antibiotics change the gut flora, in
hmans and cats. If she will eat a bit of yogurt that might do the
trick as it works for humans. If you are very concerned, I hope
you will call or see your vet.
