Is tuna water safe for my dehydrated cat with mild diarrhea?

You can give about 5-10mls every hour with a syringe. Dilute the unflavored PediaLyte with equal parts water. You can also leave the 50/50 solution out in a bowl for her to drink when shebwants. You can try a short fast, about 12 hours, followed by a bland diet fed in small,frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to her regular diet afterwards. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, persistent diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

As long as Tinkerbell is behaving and eating normally, try withholding food for 12-24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte during this period. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. Begin with one table of food and gradually increase the amount. Feed bland until the stool is normal then transition slowly to her regular diet. See your veterinarian if the diarrhea doesn't resolve or if Tinkerbell begins vomiting or develops letha, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.

Given that Shady will eat treats and has eaten a bit of tuna, then it's fine to give him his antibiotics. Keep offering him the tuna, and keep it in the spring water to get more water into him. Cats aren't naturally big water drinkers, and he may be drinking at night when you are sleeping which you won't see. You can also try soaking the treats in water for him. As for the kaopectate, that is safe to use in cats but not in cases where they have severe diarrhea. If the vet gave you the ok to use it, then they would have felt it's safe for him. I hope this helps!

Stopping the diarrhea usually requires stopping the cause of the diarrhea. In a young cat, it is often an infection that causes them to stop eating/drinking with diarrhea. However, this can happen with other illnesses or poisoning. Diarrhea is actually beneficial with infections, because it's the body's way of getting rid of the toxin/disease. And, most diarrhea resolves on its own within three days. The concerning thing with Samantha's case is that she could quickly become dehydrated if she is not drinking and continues having diarrhea. If this continues for more than a day, then she will need to go to the vet for an evaluation and treatment to keep this from being a serious problem. Other criteria for going to the vet are as follows: 1) Blood in diarrhea 2) Very watery diarrhea 3) She starts acting very depressed 4) Diarrhea lasts longer than three days You can help her get through this by feeding bland food (boneless chicken and tuna is good). Feed small portions (1 Tbsp or less) three times a day. Ensure fresh, clean water is always available. I hope this helps and Samantha gets better soon.

If he becomes dehydrated due to the diarrhea he will drink, you can be sure of that. withhold food for 6 hours then offer him boiled boneless chicken and rice every 4 hours in small portions. if he is eating and not vomiting, continue with this diet for 2 days. After 2 days, you can put him back gradually on his normal food. If the diarrhea does not resolve, take him to the vet to get treatment.

Calorie intake is extremely important in cats with kidney disease and although high protein (and salt) levels are a consideration as the kidneys need to actively excrete the protein by-products, a tiny sprinkle of bonito in order to tempt his appetite are highly unlikely to aggravate his condition and a good appetite for a wet kidney diet will be a huge advantage to long term management of his condition and will delay progression and improve wellbeing

Please feed your cat again. Cats do not do well with out food for more than 12 hours. You can also worm your cat. Feed her some boiled boneless chicken and then slowly mix on her normal commercial cat food again. I am assuming you are in India.
