I'm a little bit worried about my cat. We have been on holiday for the last 5 days, so he has been in a caterry for that time. The lady who looked after him was lovely so I'm sure she would have told me if he was unwell whilst there, but I might text to double check.
Whilst he was the he was eating different wet food and last night when we picked him up I also gave him some different wet food to the one he usual has.
I woke up last night to hear him crying in his litter tray and then when I got up this morning at 8 he had had diarreah (which for the life of me I cannot spell) in his litter tray and on the floor. Since then he's done it 3 more times.
I feel so sorry for him and I'm quite worried. He's our first cat and we've only had him since New Year so we're quite inexperienced. I'm wondering if it's because of the different food or because of the stress of moving from here to a cattery and then back here (he was very upset with me when I picked him up, he's normally very affectionate but he was flicking his tail at me and walking away, growling at me and scratching, which he never ever does. He was back to his normal affectionate self as soon as we got in the car to go home though.
I'm really worried about him. What can I do today to help him? I was thinking about just giving him dry food and plenty of water all day, no wet food?
When does it become necessary to take him to a vet?
Is there anything I can buy that will help him? (DP is convinced they must do something like immodium for cats, I'm not so sure!)
Any advice at all would be very much appreciated, thanks
