My cat has liquid poop and weird eyes. What medicine can help?

Deworming is a good idea. Usually when the third eyelids are elevated it is due to a GI issue. I have no idea what medication the vet gave you but most of the medications we use in animals are human medications so if they prescribed it I would assume it is OK to give. If you would like to post again with the name of the medication we may be able to help you better.

A dewormer would be beneficial if the diarrhea is caused by worms, however if they also have eye discharge or third eyelids showing I would be concerned about other issues ongoing such as a respiratory infection or illness. The kittens, if they are about 2-3 months old, are also of the age where they should be getting their first set of vaccines, exams, etc. It would be best to bring them into your vet for a complete checkup, checking the stool to figure out the cause of the diarrhea, look at the eyes, and get started on a health and vaccination plan.

Poor kitty. It is very possible Shunki has a bacterial or parasitic infection. THe first step here is to take her to your vet to get her stools tested. If she has a parasite or bacteria imbalance, it can get treated quickly through your vet in most cases. Until you can get her in to be seen, its best to offer her plenty of water to keep her hydrated and perhaps even mixing 50:50 non-flavored Pedialyte with water to replace her electrolyte losses. You should also give her a probiotic daily such as Fortiflora or even over the counter Culturelle works well. I do hope that Shunki's diarrhea issues resolve soon! Best of luck and take care.

Little Maggie may be in the beginning stages of an infection. These are generally viral but sometimes bacteria can play a role. Its not an emergency but if she continues to have the eye issues or the lose stool for more than 24 hours, I would take her in for an exam and possible medications. A bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice may help with the soft stool. Make sure Rosie continues to drink well as these young ones can dehydrate quickly. Best of luck!

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that Jojo isn't feeling well. Loose stool is not uncommon during times of stress in cats (such as when they are sick), but it could be caused by many other things as well. New or strange foods, parasites, and infections can also be culprits. Since Jojo is fighting off what sounds like an upper respiratory infection (runny nose with mucous), it's not all that surprising that she's also have some soft stool. Excess mucous that is swallowed can also cause some intestinal upset. I do highly recommend that Jojo visits the vet for her runny, irritated nose and loose stool. While most upper respiratory infections in cats are viral in nature and may subside on their own, it sounds like Jojo may be dealing with some other issues that are causing her to not feel well. In the meantime, keeping Jojo's nose clean with a soft cloth and some warm water will be helpful in preventing further irritation. Additionally, putting her in a small room that is humidified (like a bathroom with the shower running hot) can help keep these secretions fluid and moving, instead of getting all gunked up. I recommend doing this a few times a day for 15 minutes at a time. At the vet's office, Jojo will have her heart and lungs listened to. This is very important as some upper respiratory infections, even if caused by a virus, can cause a secondary bacterial infection in the lungs which can lead to pneumonia. She'll have her temperature taken (I'm glad that you are able to check this at home and that it has gone down), and they may want to collect a stool sample to check for parasites. Antibiotics and potentially some fluids under the skin (to help prevent dehydration from all the mucous and loose stool) may be in Jojo's future. These are all things that will help her on the road to recovery, but can only be administered by your vet. I hope that you can get an appointment for Jojo soon! If she becomes lethargic, starts vomiting, or seems to have trouble breathing, please bring her to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital right away. Good luck, and I hope she feels better!

Jack's eyes and stool most likely are not related although can be. He may have an upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis (inflammation in the conjunctiva of the eyes which may be infection vs allergic), Jack can have a corneal ulcer (less likely if it is both eyes that are affected) or even allergies (which are less likely due to age). With all of his symptoms, including a runny nose and sneezing it seems more like an upper respiratory infection. It is a good sign that he is still full of energy. With his stool, it can be stress or intestinal parasites. It can also be that he got into something he wasn't supposed to or even a virus. When you go to the veterinarian I would recommend bringing a stool sample so the veterinarian can make sure there are no intestinal parasites. They may dispense eye medication and medication to help with the diarrhea. Depending on the cause they find it just may be antibiotics for the diarrhea or it may be a dewormer. They also may dispense a bland diet for Jack. I hope Jack feels better soon and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to an eye injury or conditions such as a corneal laceration, corneal ulcer, conjunctivitis, dry eye (also known as KCS), among many other conditions. Diarrhea could be due to something like parasites for instance which is treated with medications or it may be transient. I highly recommend that you have Tequila evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Further therapy would be based on the findings. Good luck and best wishes!
