Diarrhea problems: Any remedy?

[sneaky pie]

Hello,
I introduced Sebastian earlier--my diabetic kitty--and I've already found some wonderful ideas here. We are transitioning from his dry food diet to wet food. Unfortunately, my older cat has developed diarrhea (as I was afraid she might). We also introduced Welness Core, the low-carb dry food, as a way of a smoother transition to cans. We are mixing their previous dry food with Welness Core for now. Still, my other cat's diarrhea has persisted for 3 days now and Sebastian himself had soft stools today.

Here is my question: Has anyone used any remedies successfully? I was reading about Pet Alive Runny Poo Relief. Any experience with it or anything else? (I'll call the vet at the moment he comes back from his brief break from the office.)

I have never used any remedies. The concern with repeated diarrhea dehydration. Administering of fluids may be necessary. How is the cat's hydration?

They have been drinking water as usual. I would stil like to ease the symptoms as safely as possible.

Hi,
My Sya has had the same issues. According to my vet it can be an ongoing battle with some of the the FD kitties. He had me start her on Rx Biotics (probiotic powder) formulated by Dr. Robert Silver. I also eliminated beef and fish flavors from her wet food. Right now she just does turkey and chicken. I have seen improvement over the past few weeks, so I am optomistic :smile:

Thanks! I'll ask the vet about the powder.

The vet may have Forta Flora, a probiotic made by Purina.

I think each case is different. Tabby had really bad diarrea and I tried everything to fix it. Finally I figured out that certain food that had rice in it stopped the diarrea. He eats Friskies Turkey and giblets and Friskies Poultry Platter. They both have the rice and after a few days his stools were normal. You could give it a try.
