My old cat's diarrhea won't stop with home remedies. What to do?

Question

Hello, I have a 20 yr old domestic shorthair cat. She has had diarrhea on and off for over a week. I have been giving her Fortiflora and chicken broth w/white rice but no real change. FYI, she is acting, eating, drinking, urinating normally. How do I get her bowel movements back to normal? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 lbs

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). Considering the persistency of the signs, a clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!
