Poor Ash! He could have a parasite, infection, congenital abnormality, etc. He really needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible. Your vet can test a stool sample to help determine the cause and then prescribe medications to treat. You could try to find a low cost clinic or try the Humane society in your area and see if they can help. Hope he feels better soon!

At her age this can be from an infection or intestinal parasites. It may be food related also. There are no medications safe to give cats over the counter. You can get a dewormer from pet supply store to give that and pick up a feline probiotic to help to add to her food. Her vet will need to check a fresh stool sample to check for any bacteria or other parasites that may need an antibiotic to further help.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea or loose stools can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Bailee evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

If they all have it, it could be due to something like intestinal worms. It's concerning this diarrhea won't go away, and they can easily become dehydrated from it. I'd take them into the vet first thing in the morning to get the cause of the diarrhea diagnosed so they can be treated. I hope this helps!
