Chronic Diarrhea in Cats

Chronic diarrhea in cats is often associated with a disease called Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Other causes include food allergies, chronic bacterial infections, and certain systemic diseases (liver, kidney, and heart diseases, for example).

All cases of chronic diarrhea should be examined by a local veterinarian.

This condition is so complex that we believe there are no easy answers. Therefore, we strongly recommend a Phone Consult. We have successfully treated many cats with this debilitating disease.

We often create a custom formula specifically designed for your cat following the phone consult.

If you do not wish to have a phone consult, we would suggest you start by modifying your cat's diet as described in Feeding Your Cat.

One general product we highly recommend is UltraClear Sustain. Another basic product we recommend is a probiotic. We like Lactobacillus sporogenes in cats.

Perhaps the best all-around product is Gastriplex. Gastriplex will help heal the stomach, the small intestines and the colon.

Finally, consider adding a digestive enzyme, Dipan 9.
