Since this isn抰 a regular condition, we usually get scared when we notice diarrhea in cats, as they might be sick. There are plenty of remedies which can be used for diarrhea in cats, so don抰 worry when you notice it.

To get your cat抯 system to return to normal as far as the elimination process goes, you should take into consideration feeding her foods that are bland, like beef, chicken, lamb baby food or turkey. Fish or white chicken can both be good options. You can also mix beef or chicken with potatoes, macaroni or rice, and give it to your cat.

If your cat抯 diarrhea takes longer than a day, you should go to a vet and see what the problem is. The vet will probably ask you about different possible causes of the diarrhea, so try to remember what diet your cat had lately.

If the cat has diarrhea for a day, it might be dehydrated as a result. She will need fresh water, and if it抯 a severe case, you can also give the cat some Gatorade, so the electrolytes are replaced. Pedialyte can also be given to the cat, as long as it抯 unflavored, so dehydration is prevented.

If it抯 not a major case of diarrhea, you might be able to cure it with some home remedies. If it doesn抰 stop after one day and you can抰 control it, go see a vet. If it takes more than 24 hours, it might be a serious disease.
