Please help as I am in despair,
So cat 2 has been with us since she was 10 weeks old. She’s now 12.5 yrs old .
from September onwards she has had loose stools. Initially these were bad enough that she had a dirty bottom. We saw the vet, had blood tests done etc which were all satisfactory and they put it down to a GI infection for which she had antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory.
since then it’s continued…never quite as bad as September but still loose:
In addition she’s now not always using the litter tray to wee or poo but just going anywhere. I am scrubbing the carpet every day as 6 days out of 7 there will be a splatty poop there. She’s also weeing everywhere in the house:
I have
Added extra litter trays…one for each cat and a spare .
Changed her diet to an expensive digestive one
Added a probiotic to her food to no avail
She’s also changed where she sleeps.
Other than this….eating and drinking well, no weight loss between September anc now. Vet saw her again this week and cannot find anything obvious. We’ve now done a poo sample which was clear. The next step is a scan to rule out lymphoma but tbh apart from the loose stools I cannot see she has any other symptoms of this.
However I’ll ring the insurance company to see how much they will cover of the costs.
Any ideas?
House is beginning to smell (I think but could be paranoid) .
Not sure what to do….she’s too healthy seemingly to euthanise and it’s the last thing I want to do tbh.
