Is my cat's diarrhea normal after Metacam for bladder issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 1 year and 7 months old | 4.41 lbs

My kitty has bladder inflammation, the vet prescribed Metacam 4 kg every 24 hours, she had her first dose last night and this morning she had diarrhea once. Is that normal? Nothing changed in her diet. Thank you!

It could be a side effect of the medication or it could be related to something else like stress. I recommend to call your vet today and follow their recommendations. A bland diet may also help. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
