Hello. I am sorry for your concerns about your kitties misfortunes. I would not be too concerned about the stool. It probably is due to the antibiotic discoloring the stool. The important things are their appetites & color. If they are eating & drinking fairly normally & their mucous membranes ( gum tissues just above the canine teeth ) is at least a pale pink color, then they are probably healing well. The stools should clear up within a few days of stopping the antibiotic. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
