My cat has diarrhea, vet meds aren't helping. What should I do now?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My cat has diaherria, his vet gave him yesterday medicaments but no improvement appeared. Meanwhile, he is eating chicken breasts in small amounts and drinking a cup of water per day. I am really concerned. Any further acts should be applied ? Thank you

You are doing the right thing by giving him chicken breasts and plenty of water, and I would see if the medications help over the next 24 hours. If they do not and your cat still has diarrhea, then I would take him back into the vet right away. Best of luck and happy holidays.
