My cat's poop is odd after UTI, new diet, and meds. Is it okay?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 3 years and 8 months old | 15 lbs

Have a cat recovering from a UTI. We found a piece of feces in the little box with an odd color/texture and just wanted some peace of mind. He’s on a new UTI diet wet food (Hills) and is currently taking Prazosin and Gabapentin (so you have all the info). We have two cats sharing the litter box so we’re not 100% sure it belongs to the recovering cat Thanks!

Hi there! That stool appears within the realm of normal. It does look a touch dry, so I'd monitor the cats for any signs of constipation and make sure they're both defecating regularly (at least once daily) and eating well. But I suspect it's normal. :-)
