If the cat is young and has not been vaccinated, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for cat plague, cat coronavirus screening, feces examination, routine blood tests, etc. in time. If the diagnosis is caused by virus infection, infusion and antiviral treatment may be required.

2. Digestion caused by cold

If a cat just has diarrhea, but has normal mental and appetite, and the weather has cooled down recently, it is likely that it is caused by cold

At this time, you need to pay attention to keeping your cat warm, try to keep your cat in a relatively warm environment, and reduce the risk of cats catching cold and having diarrhea. At the same time, consult a pet doctor to use pet-specific cold medicines for cats for treatment.

If the owner has not dewormed the cat for a long time and the cat has an insect body in its feces, the cat is diarrhea caused by parasite infection. In this case, the cat needs to be taken to the pet hospital for fecal examination, and the infected parasite species are diagnosed and dewormed drugs are used symptomatically.
