Cat losing weight, diarrhea, watery eyes: What to do at home?

Question

Hello, my cat has lost some weight and alongside she has diarrhea and watery eyes for almost a week now. Is there anything alarming about her? And what should I do to help her, as veterinary service is not available at the moment. Thank You! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 3 years and 1 month old

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Weight loss and diarrhea are concerning for either a gut disease (allergies, dietary indiscretion, toxin, IBD, etc.), or other severe systemic disease (kidney disease, liver disease, etc), however systemic disease sounds less likely. She likely has eaten something that has upset her stomach. I would recommend getting her to a vet when you first can, and in the mean-time I would get her a high quality canned cat food. You want one that is low in fat and high in fibre. The canned food is better to help keep Bibi hydrated. If Bibi won't eat, you can try syringe feeding her. The watery eyes can be signs of a virus or infection, hard to tell without seeing her, however I would address her weight loss and diarrhea first. You can try boiling rice and feeding tuna with rice as well. Best of luck with Bibi, I hope she feels better soon!
