My cat has diarrhea. What can I do to help his upset stomach?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

Hello, Lio had diaherra for three days once a day (brown and mushy), I did give him salomn oil around the time this started but stopped using it. I ordered a probotic but what can I do for now? He is on a mix diet, tiki cat sardine and salomn sweet potatoe kibble Iandloveanyoubrand. There wasnt a real change in his diet beside the salomn oil that one time. He is till eating well but should I try boiled chicken and brown rice and if so for how long and how much and do I have supplements/FIBER?

You can try home made diet and probiotics for a week. GI distress from new food or treats generally only lasts a few days. If the diarrhea persists, worsens, or he becomes uninterested in food, I'd recommend taking him to see his vet for a physical exam.
