diarrhea

My little guy, now 3 years old has been getting random bouts of diarrhea, and vomiting for a couple of days every couple of months since he was a baby. I have taken him to the vet several times and they would give him anti-nausea shots and fluids (he was still miserable and felt it was worse to...

I'll try to keep this short. My sphynx cat was raised on raw by his breeder, after seeing multiple vets which suggested I change to a wet/kibble food mix I did. I tried to implement slowly but after a day he stopped eating the raw (he ate around it) and only would eat the new wet/kibble food...

Hello I’m new to the group but I’ve had my Mochi for about 5 months now and I have an older one as well named Grandpa. I kept mochi on the breeders diet (royal canin) and wanted to transition to a different food but for the past month he’s had diarrhea and we’ve gone to the vet and they gave...

So about 3 weeks ago I adopted a 2.5 yo male sphynx from a breeder in my hometown. She explained that the other males in her home weren’t being very mice to him and she just wanted him to go to a good home. Me- knowing NOTHING about this breed, but always wanting one- jumped at the opportunity...

Anyone have suggestions/advice for a Sphynx who all of a sudden has loose stool? My Nooshie has had loose stool for awhile now. I brought him to the vet and they gave flagyl and tested his stool for parasites which was negative. I started him on FortiFlora about 3 weeks ago. He eats Stella and...

I'm worried sick about my Sphynx kitten, Fig, and would really appreciate some suggestions. He has been vomiting and having diarrhea for three days now. On January 1st, I picked up my beautiful 13 week old Sphynx kitten from a breeder who has been breeding Sphynx for over 20 years. On January...

My sweet girl Gretchen has IBD. We confirmed with biopsies taken when I had her spayed. The vet started her on Prednisone and Metronidazole. I wanted to stray from prolonged steroid use and opted to look into her diet Years ago I came across a post on here recommending Evangers Dry Cat Food -...

I am new to the Lair, and new to owning a Sphynx. My cat's name is Devlinn, she will be 9 years old December 7th. I received my cat from a family member who owns quite a few.

Roquefort (the younger of my two cats) has had soft poop more or less since we got him. It's not watery but it's just always super soft and smelly. He eats fine and we've had a fecal test and parasite tests done and the vet says he's perfectly healthy and probably just has a sensitive stomach...

my Sphynx has had chronic diarrhea for the past week. Her bath night was tuesday. This morning I noticed sores on her sides. Last night she had an diarrhea accident on our rug because it was like she couldnt make it to her box. She is not acting lethargic or “sick” but shes just pooping all...

Hello! I've never posted before but after finally seeing progress in my cat's severe chronic diarrhea I wanted to share what helped her. Background: I got her about 5 months ago at 6 months old. She came to me with normal stool, but was on the expensive Hill's i.d. diet. My vet told me that it...

My girls started with diarrhea Wednesday (we are now on day 6 of this) they ate their normal royal canin kitten canned food Wednesday night, super mushy poops, no changes in absolutely anything in their life/environment that i can think of... thursday morning they ate extremely slow and by...

In the last 2 weeks, I have gradually switched Nuru's food from Blue Basics to Royal Canin Sensitive Digestion. His stools have been much firmer and I have noticed that he is more energetic. I am happy with his progress so far but he remains struggling with both constipation and diarrhea. In...

Hello Sphynx Lair-- In March I adopted a 5-year-old male Sphynx, Nuru, that had been kept by neglectful owners. Since receiving him, I have had several problems with litter box training, "poop tail," and chronic diarrhea. Upon adopting him, I learned that Nuru had Irritable Bowel Disease. I...

I swear, I can't catch a break. As mentioned in a previous post, Leon was diagnosed with two intestinal protozoan parasites (coccidia and giardia). He was giving Panacur and Albon but he continued to have bloody diarrhea. Negative Coccidia on the second test. No way to know about the Giardia yet...

I just got my kitten at the end of May. She is 4 months old and she has had chronic diarrhea for the whole time I've had her off and on. Her energy is great, she doesn't have a fever, the vet checked her for parasites, everything and they found nothing. The vet gave her something for the...

My three year old male has...

Hi all, My mom has her sphynxy Tinsley who has a really bad case of IBS. She can't eat anything without screaming in pain and then having diarrhea. This has been going on for several years and my mom has tried every suggestion under the sun with diets to try to help her, but nothing works. I...

My 8 month old sphynx kitten has been having diarrhea on and off for 6 days. I told the vet about it and she didn't recommend I come in because it wasn't happening for more than 24 hours at a time. I've been filtering his water, restricting his food intake, and I'm about to switch him to a food...
