Ozzy has the runs :(

Kaopectate used to be safe for cats with diarrhea. IT IS NOT ANYMORE due to the addition of bismuth which can be toxic to cats.

Ask your vet if you should be pushing fluids. They may be able to give you a 5 cc syringe and you could squirt some water in his mouth as per their directions. Bean was just sick with heatstroke this weekend and I was going to start doing that but didn't have a syringe and by the time I would have found a way to get one, he was drinking on his own.

It should start to cool off Tomorrow. Quick recovery Ozzy!!

Oh Ozzy!!
You need to drink water honey!!

I hope you're feeling better soon!

If he may not be getting enough water, you can pour some over his kibble (or whatever you feed him).

I hope you feel better soon Ozzy!

Well he IS drinking water. (I didn't say he wasn't, just that I didn't know. Sorry that misled folks)

Tonight I gave him rice and hard boiled eggs. He ate about half of what he normally eats, but as it is something he has not had before, that seemed good.

He is still runny and now there seems to be some blood. That could be because he is straining to go. Will keep an eye of him, hope to make it through the night and get him to the vet in the morning. I am (unfortunately) very familiar with the ER vet, if I need to get him there tonight.

Would it upset his stomach if you added some plain canned pumpkin to his food (it will make his poo firmer)? There could be blood because of stressing the bowels.
