My cat has diarrhea after dental surgery. Is it Convenia or anesthesia?

Question

My cat had dental surgery last Tuesday and has had diarrhea Thursday Friday and Saturday night is it the convenía shot or anesthesia? Will this subside? It’s once a day diarrhea she eats otherwise. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 16 years old | 12 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Butter. Unfortunately, diarrhea can have many causes. Convenia is the most likely cause, but anesthesia could cause it as well as the stress of her visit or an underlying medical condition. If there is blood in the stool or she is acting sick, then she will need to see a veterinarian today. This doesn't sound like the case based on your post though. Otherwise, I recommend that she sees her veterinarian tomorrow. It is easy for her to become dehydrated from the ongoing fluid loss in the stool. The veterinarian will examine her and determine how best to treat her and resolve the diarrhea. For example, subcutaneous fluids, probiotics and possibly antibiotic may be warranted. I hope this information helps!
