Why does my active cat have runny stool after eating many treats?

Question

My cat has had a runny light brown stool for 24 hours. She's bright and playful and eating and drinking normally. I've given her a lot of cat treats like Dreamies and Felix goodie bags because we're snowed in and she's terrified of the snow so she's a bit stressed too. What should I do?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. She is likely experiencing dietary indiscretion from eating the treats. You can stop giving the treats to see if her runny stools improve. If these continue, I recommend that you have Dubh 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!
