Cat diarrhea

Question
Leslie,  My 15 mo. old male cat has had loose to liquid stools since he was neutered (About a year)
My vet has tried steroid injections, restricted diet (I/D dry), and occasionally a series of Lozipan (sp?).  Nothing works.  Aside from this, he is perfectly healthy? No tests have been done.  Do you have any suggestions?  Should I seek out a diagnostician?  Pat

Answer
If he has not had any deworming for awhile, I would recommend a 5-day course of Panacur just to be safe.  I would also recommend that he have some blood tests done to make sure that there isn't something else wrong...CBC, Chem Screen with Electrolytes, TLI to check pancreas and B12/Folate level to check for bacterial overgrowth and maldigestion.  And if nothing shows, go for an ultrasound.

In the mean time, I would highly recommend that you feed an all-natural high quality diet that is void of dyes, by-products, preservatives and corn.  I feed my cat with inflammatory bowel Prairie Lamb & Rice and he does pretty good on it www.naturesvariety.com

I would also recommend adding digestive enzymes into his diet.  I use Dancing Paws Shake'N'Zyme which also has probiotics in it www.dancingpaws.com

GOOD LUCK!
