In an earlier post I stated that all 4 of our cats had diarrhea over the last week or so. It seemed to resolve itself and then I noticed that Fluffy had it again this morning. She is eating well, drinking water, normally, not excessively, playing, cuddling, chasing her toys and running around the house as normal. Just the diarrhea. I hate to take her to the vet and traumatize her for no reason, so I am asking for your thoughts and suggestions. Obviously if it keeps up I will call and make an appointment, but I am wondering if it maybe has something to do with their diet. They are all rather spoiled. I cook them their own piece of chicken to have during the week, they are fed Fancy Feast and Friskies and various dry foods. I was rushing last weekend and may have put the chicken in the fridge before it had reached proper temperature, I wonder if that could do anything? I have introduced a few different variety's of the wet foods, like Tuna & Egg, and more fishy flavors. Also, I have noticed a few black ants and occassional flies now that the weather has gotten warmer. In fact, I think Fluffy may have eaten the fly that she was chasing this morning. I tried to get it, but she was quicker than me. I know it is not unusual for occassional tummy upsets to cause diarrhea and vomiting so hopefully, I am worrying for nothing. The diarrhea is the only symptom. Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.
