Runny poo :(

Hey guys, some may know me from a thread i made a while back. Anywho me and my flat mate finally got a kitty, altho he came from a shelter so he is alil timid, which may contribute to his problem, im not too sure.

He is currently having quiet runny poo, the first few days it was diahrea altho its starting to get better but they are still pretty soggy, so soggy that as soon as i scoop it out of the litter tray it gets all over the scoop and just makes scooping out poop that little bit funner -...-

He's never had and shots but has always been an indoor cat, hes never been dewormed or deflead or anything. We figured it may of been worms so we dewormed him about 5 days ago and he still is having wet poo. He also has alot of scabs on him, its hard to get a real look at them because he runs off as soon as we start pullign back his hair to see what it is. He is however quiet clumsy so it may just be where he has grased himself from falling off stuff, but tis always nice to be sure.

We tried to get him to the vets last week however the monster actually broke the cat carrier door and ended up ripping my arm to pieces in the process (remind me to get his nails cut ) So taking him to the vets isnt an option until we buy a new cat carrier, im thinking maybe a reinforced steel cage usually used for bears?

Another thought may be that hes alil stressed and so his poo is alil runny, but he doesnt seem very stressed, he always comes up for cuddles when im on the sofa and he can be purring in m arms purring for hours. We also thought it may be the food? But we use the same food the last owner was feeding him, and that is 1 pack of whiskers in the morning with some biscuits around lunch time and then another pack at dinner and then some biscuits before we go to bed so he has something to munch on if he gets hungry (Thats what we have been told to feed him.)

So does anyone know what could be causing the poo and the scabs? We plan on trying to get him to a vets as soon a spossible but with me and my flat mates working hours the only real time we can do such a thing is on a monday and then we still need to save for a new cat carrier, so it could be a few weeks until we can get him a check up and his shots.

Any help is much appreciated Thanks !
