My anxious cat has loose stool. What food is best for her sensitive stomach?

Question

My 1 1/2 yr old Siamese has a loose stool for a long time ( not diarrhea tho). The vet says she doesn’t have parasites. She does struggle with anxiety and timidness, which on occasion, will cause diarrhea. Would you recommend changing her food from “purina indoor” to something for sensitive stomach?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding PJ. You can consider a diet change. If she is a high anxiety kitty, I like Royal Canin Veterinary Diets Calm. It is an anti-anxiety food. You could also add a probiotic such as Fortiflora or Proviable to help with her digestive health. If all of these changes do not help, then I would recommend further testing. There is a parasite known as Tritrichomonas in cats that will cause soft stool. She may also require a blood panel specific to GI disorders. It measures two pancreatic values as well as cobalamin and folate levels. I hope this information helps!
