My cat has chronic diarrhea and swollen bum after I gave medicine.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hi. My cat was born blind so she has always been in my care. A few weeks ago I gave her a small amount of zentel because she seemed sick and wasn't eating so I thought she had parasites, Now she has chronic diarrhea that it's not getting better and her bum seems inflamed and swollen too. What can I give her to stop the diarrhea? Please help me.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Zentel is listed as a human albendazole product. If this is the medication that you gave your cat, I recommend a visit to the vet asap as cats can be very sensitive to albendazole, it is not a medication typically used in cats.
