My cat has soft stool after stress. What home remedies can I try?

Question

Hello! I am emailing because my cat(s) are showing signs of soft stool which I know to be a classification of diarrhea. Recently one of the cats (leon) spent some time in the vet due to ingesting a stargazer lilly. The ingestion took place about 10 days ago. After we got the all clear from the vet (about 6 days ago now) The cats went through a stressful re-introduction period. I've read stress can be a cause of diarrhea. They are otherwise behaving normally again. How should I move forward? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 10 years and 6 months old | 18 lbs

You are right, stress can cause diarrhea. I can give you a home remedy for Leon to see if it helps. Feed him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
