Hi, my cat has diarrhea after deworming for 4 days. He was fine before I adopt a new kitten (about 4-5weeks old).So I am not sure is the kitten has the virus or the deworm tablet problem. He is about 5 months old. I am bit worried about him. Is that normal to have diarrhea after deworming? Thank you

diarrhea after deworming can be normal, but usually for no more than a couple days. this is probably due to something else, either a virus, bacteria or something in the food he isn't copping with. i would recommend taking him to the vet in order to get it treated.

Poor Monster. Don't give him milk. Cats are lactose intolerant, and the milk is likely making things worse. Feed him 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 his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

Your cat is probably suffering from a gastrointestinal infection. withhold food for 8 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 6 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If the situation does not improve, take him to the vet to get treatment.

offer her boiled boneless chicken and rice every 4-6 hours in small portions. she will need an antibiotic course in order to solve this problem and this is something that you will need to get from your vet.
