Cat has chronic yellow diarrhea, poops everywhere, and seems tired. What to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 20 days old | 3.2672 lbs

Hello, my cat got chronic diarrhea that lasted for almost a month, now he can't stop himself from dirtying everywhere he goes, sometimes he dirties himself even when asleep. He didn't lose weight, he eats normally, but his stool is yellow and runny, his butt is irritated and he looks tired. I was feeding him rice and chicken and sometimes pumpkin but it didn't help. His other brothers also got diarrhea but their condition isn't as severe. What's wrong with them? What should I give him? Thanks

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Khilisha. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. He will need to have fecal testing performed. I worry that he has infection if his littermates are affected as well. He will need a medication to help stop the diarrhea. An antibiotic or dewormer will likely be prescribed. If there is not an infection, then his diet could be to blame. I hope this information helps!
