Hi, I am a proud owner of a tabby bengal mix, he is 4.5 months and extremely playful and mischievous. He recently had diarrhea when I drove him up to my place, and I found it to be due to stress. I took him to the vet and he had his deworming done but all in all his poops were and are fine now.
It did get me thinking however, if a cat has no parasites, no medical problems and has diarrhea only due to either stress or diet change will the diarrhea resolve on its own without human intervention?
(provided ofc that the cause of the stress is addressed and for the diet change new food is simply fed as normal + hydration is monitored)
‘I’m trying to learn as much I can.
Has anyone ever done not done anything in this case and found that everything worked it’s way out?
My reasoning is, that if cats are really such fragile, weak creatures then surely all abandoned cats would have already succumbed to the side effects of diarrhea (dehydration and lethargy) yet unfortunately even though I see that happening a lot here, the cats seem to quickly adapt to their new habitat and by the looks of it, it’s new food (which around these parts is mainly garbage eating)
‘so what’s up? Are we being fooled? Please help me understand.
thankyou
