My cat has diarrhea sometimes but acts normal. What should I do?

Question

Hallo. My cat is having diarrhea for a couple of days already. But her stool is not always loose. Only sometime it happen. I didn't change her food. I do give her supplementary food for intestinal urinary tract for the past week. Plus, early this week, she visited another cat and the owner gave her some snacks. Other than that, she is fine, not stress and still play like normal. Can you tell me what's the problem and how can i solve it soon? I can only bring her to the vet next week bcos of exam. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 7 lbs

Common causes of diarrhea or loose stools in a young cat include food intolerance, food allergies, intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral gastroenteritis, stress colitis, among a few others. Based on her history, stress from the visit or a change in treats may be the cause. You can try a medication like ProPectalin AntiDiarrheal Gel for Dogs & Cats that has probiotics and a small amount of kao pectate in it - it also tastes good. If the diarrhea/soft stools continue next week, or if Pico starts showing signs of lethargy, inappetence, or straining, I would definitely have her checked out by a vet.
