Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 5 lbs
My cat has diarrhea and isn’t eating all her food. We recently moved and she ate okay at first and then got picky. I changed food and she ate it all when I was there. Left for a work trip and cat sitter said she didn’t eat anything. She drinks fine but started to have diarrhea .

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea and inappentence can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I think that it is possible that her diarrhea could also be due to stress from the recent move or even a recent change in diet. I recommend that you have Bobbie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
