My cat has terrible diarrhea help!

So my cat had terrible diarrhea, I took her to the vets last Tuesday and they worked her and gave her antibiotics! They told me to feed her boiled chicken which I have been doing. She had her last antibiotic today and I'm still feeding her chicken.

Her poo is still terribly runny, so bad that she just left her litter tray and poo was dropping off her bum all over the floor.

I'm going to take her to the vets again tomorrow but I just don't know what to do about food for her. I think she would be better off with dry food.

Before I took her to the vets I googled it and it said I like feed her rice mixed with wet food which I did and she ate it! But I mentioned it to the vet and he said no just boiled chicken!

Anyone else had something similar? What would you suggest feeding her? She does have an appetite and keeps asking for food

I've heard of rice being given to cats before, although, I don't know if it should be in small amounts. Personally, I'd stick to chicken for a day or two longer rather than changing to dry - you could always put a few grains of cooked rice in with it. . If you really want to give anything else maybe some light boiled fish.

Let us know how you get on with the vet.

Cats don't need carbs like rice and plain boiled chicken isn't suitable for anything beyond short term, although dark meat will have more taurine than white meat, cooking will reduce it further.

My last cat only had firm poo on dried food.

Mine had a dodgy tum for ages last year. I ended up getting the sensitive tummy food (at vet suggestion) and kept him on that for about 4 weeks before slowly reintroducing normal food.
