Cat Diarrhea: Smelly, Yellow Stools, But Still Energeti
Why Your Cat Has Smelly, Yellow Diarrhea and What to Do About It
One: Pay Attention to Your Cat's Diet
It's best to avoid feeding your cat dry, hard kibble as it can easily harm their digestive system, leading to diarrhea. Additionally, if your cat consumes spoiled or rotten food, or ingests pests or rodenticide, it can result in smelly, yellow diarrhea. As a pet owner, it's crucial to provide fresh food and monitor your cat's condition closely.
Two: Stress Reactions and Digestive Issues
Cats may experience diarrhea with yellow stools due to stress reactions from adapting to a new environment. Also, overeating or consuming a variety of foods can disrupt their digestive system. In such cases, you can initially fasting your cat for half a day to a day, then use probiotics to regulate their gut. Observe if the stool becomes firm, and adjust the treatment accordingly.
Three: Preventing Cats from Catching a Cold
Longterm exposure to air conditioning, not drying your cat off after a bath, sudden drops in temperature, or inadequate warmth can lead to your cat catching a cold, which can trigger smelly, yellow diarrhea. Therefore, place a small heater near your cat's bed and keep decongestants and antipyretics on hand to prevent sneezing and runny noses.
Warm Tips:
Regularly take your cat to the vet for internal and external deworming; feed easily digestible food; control your cat's diet and portion sizes, and always provide fresh food; if the stool is particularly smelly, take your cat to the vet for a stool check; feed your cat a moderate amount of probiotics to regulate their gut and boost their immunity; and if your cat ingests toxic or harmful substances, seek veterinary care immediately.
