What causes constant diarrhea in my new 2-year-old cat on dry food?

Question

I recently got a new cat she is 2 years old and she constantly has diarrhea around 3 times a day. I thought It might be an intolerance to meat so I have not give her any wet meat only dry cat food. Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 1 month old

She could have a parasite, infection, inflammatory bowel disease, food allergy, etc. The first thing would be to have a vet test a stool sample for parasites and infections. Your vet can prescribe medications, if needed, to treat. Otherwise, you could try a hypoallergenic diet, like z/d or d/d, and see if that helps. Adding a probiotic, like Fortiflora or Proviable, may help, too. If she has inflammatory bowel disease your vet could try her on an anti-inflammatory to see if that helps.
