Why is my cat sick with diarrhea, butt scooting, and third eyelid showing?

Question

Hello, My cat was dumped DOB not known. We found her in the garden 5 months ago looked after her. She was recently netured, 5days ago to be exact.Anyways she has diarrhoea in her tray we kept her inside since her visit to the vet. She also drags her behind after having the diarrhoea around the place, this started yesterday at 3 o clock. Also her eye lids, Seems like a white-ish eyelid in the bottom corners of each, shivering at times.Please help.Thank you

Poor kitty! The diarrhea could be caused by a GI illness, eating something rotten, or medications if she is on antibiotics from her spay. It sounds like her third eyelid is protruding, which happens when cats are sick. You can try giving her a home remedy first before having to take her into the vet. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
