My cat has diarrhea and isn't eating. What can I do to help him?

Question

My cat has never had diarrhea, but 2 days ago he did, and today he had a second one. He is in good spirits, but he is eating very, very little. Is there anything I can do to help him? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 years and 7 months old | 15 lbs

Make sure he is getting plenty of fluids. I would syringe him water and feed him wet food to get more moisture in him. I would feed a diet of chicken and rice and add in a probiotic such as Purina fortiflora which can be found online quite easily or at your local pet store. If there is no improvement or he worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine him so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
