Is there a home remedy for diarrhea in cats?

Answer 1

I'm going through this right now with my cat. I've researched and it says to fast the cat for 24 hours (give the cat plenty of water though, to prevent dehydration). The 24 hours of no food gives the cats digestive system time to begin working again. Afterwards, feed the cat a "quiet diet" of white rice and boiled hamburger or boiled chicken. If the cat won't eat the rice, then try potatoes or pasta. You can gradually introduce the cat's regular food with the "quiet diet" until they are back on regular food entirely. I really hope this works.

It is also strongly advised that you take your cat to see your veterinarian to determine the cause of the diarrhea. Some causes, such as indiscretion in food selection, will probably respond to the above. Other causes, such as parasitism, inflammatory bowel disease or cancer, will need a veterinarian's intervention before the diarrhea will resolve.

Answer 2

It's important to consult with a veterinarian before treating diarrhea in cats at home, as the underlying cause needs to be identified. Probiotics, a bland diet like boiled chicken and rice, and ensuring plenty of fresh water are common recommendations. If the diarrhea persists or if the cat shows other concerning symptoms, a vet visit is necessary.
