What's wrong with cats having diarrhea? This may be caused by indigestion, gastroenteritis, intestinal obstruction, parasitic diseases and other reasons in the cat. It is recommended that you take your cat to the veterinary hospital for examination in time so that the cause of the disease can be discovered in time and treatment measures will be taken in time.

1. Improper diet

If the owner suddenly changes food for the cat, or feeds the cat cold, irritating, and excessive oily food, causing the cat's stomach to be irritated, it will cause diarrhea. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, it is recommended that the owner must use the 7-day grain exchange method when changing the cat's food and gradually adjust the cat's diet. At the same time, you should also pay attention to feeding cats light and easy-to-digest foods to avoid feeding cats with too cold or too high oil content, which can also help prevent diarrhea.

2. Gastroenteritis

If a cat suffers from chronic gastroenteritis, it will also experience frequent diarrhea, continuous vomiting, progressive weight loss, and poor mental appetite. Because there are many types of gastroenteritis, such as parasitic gastroenteritis, viral gastroenteritis, and bacterial gastroenteritis, among which viral gastroenteritis has a very high mortality rate, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible after discovering that the cat has frequent diarrhea.

3. Parasite infection

If the owner does not deworm the cat regularly, the parasites in the body will proliferate abnormally, which will cause the cat to suffer from diarrhea, and sometimes even find insects in the cat's excrement. In addition, parasites in the body will continue to absorb the cat's nutrition, causing the cat to become thinner and thinner. Therefore, for the sake of the health of the cat, the owner must deworm the cat regularly.
