My new cat has diarrhea and won't eat after medication. What to do?

Question

I got a cat from the SPCA two weeks ago and he has had diarrhea that was not fixed by a course of Metrodinazole. He is better but really not eating enough at all. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old | 11 lbs

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Haboob. Congrats on your new cat, but I'm sorry he has diarrhea! It is a bit concerning that he's really not eating enough, and if he's had diarrhea for a few weeks, that would make him feel pretty awful and lead to a decrease in appetite. Given that the Metronidazole didn't fix the diarrhea and he's having a decrease in appetite, I think taking him into the vet again would be best. I'd have him seen today or tomorrow. I hope this helps!
