My cat is 11 months old and has feline leukemia. She has runny poop off and on for about a month now. She is still eating and drinking and I took her to the vet once already for this. Should I be worried?

If the diarrhoea is persistently present you could try to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken or white fish and rice for the next 4 days. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist after that or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
