Hello and thank you for using Pet Coach! I am sorry to hear that Stoney is not feeling well. It does not sound like many diagnostics have been performed on Stoney. I would recommend a blood panel to make sure there are no major systemic changes that may indicate disease or infection. Diarrhea can also be caused by intestinal parasites so it would be good to bring a fecal sample to your vet to have it screened for parasites. She may require an oral antibiotic for the diarrhea if she is not improving. If the symptoms persist, I would recommend getting an abdominal ultrasound done to see if her intestines are thickened. Sometimes, ultrasound can pick up inflammation of the intestinal walls that may suggest inflammatory bowel diseases and intestinal lymphoma, which are both something we commonly see in cats. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available to consult with by phone or text if needed.
