  3. If diarrhea persists for more than 24 hours, or if there is blood in depositions, phone the veterinarian.
  4. After twelve hours of fasting, give the cat a small quantity of cooked chicken. Continue with this diet until the excrement return to a normal consistency.

Diarrhea with moderate vomits.

  1. Keep him away from food and water during a period of 12 hours.
  2. Make him lick small pieces of ice or a small spoonful of carbonic water every hour .
  3. When he goes twelve hours without being sick, give him a small quantity of cooked chicken and small doses of water. If he does not get sick again, give him a bit more of food after two hours and a solution of kaolin to protect the surface of the stomach.
  4. Continue with the treatment until the excrement go back to a normal consistency and then return to accustomed diet.

Reduce the risks of diarrhea by not changing the diet abruptly and by not giving him offal as a meal. If you allowed him go outside, test its intestinal deworm periodically.
