My cat's poop smells horrible. What's the cause? Do probiotics help?

Question

Hello, My cat's stools smells horrible and almost unbearable, she had roundworms but that problem is already solved. What could be the problem and how can I help her? Should I give her probiotics? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 2 years and 9 months old | 79.36 lbs

That usually is dietary related, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. Probiotics can be given as well. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
