Cat bowel problems ..?

Question

I am feeling my cat royal cannin dry food and whiskas canned food combined daily. The only reason i am giving him cheap whiskas is because im not in the USA and that all that's avaliable here. A few days back I gave him some chicken that i boiled myself and he ate it. Ever since then he has not been eating and has strange bowel movements (either long and skinny and brown, --or waterly and yellowish). In addition he has been very letheragic and vomiting water today and one hair ball yesterday.
Yes i am taking him ot the vet tonight , but anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong with him? I don't know if its related to the chicken or not. Thanks for any descent answers!

Answer 1

Royal Canin is a very good product, we feed it to the cats/dogs/kittens/puppies at the shelter. It should be fed separately to the wet food. I also feed it to my cats at home.

As for the person who said not to feed your animals chicken, they have the wrong information. Chicken (mince is the best) has the best and most digestible protein for dogs and cats. It is fed to animals with food allergies because it is a nice bland yet nutritious meat.
When I give my cats chicken mince, I choose to give them "human" chicken mince as there is a low rate of fat. Pet mince is full of bone and fat and I prefer the pure meat.
Perhaps the cooked chicken didn't agree with him. If he goes outside, he may have picked something up there and it is just a coincidence that it was at the time you fed him the chicken.
Good luck with the cat, there could be many reasons for the digestive problems.

Answer 2

Well I'm going to give you the vet lecture.

NEVER FEED A CAT OR DOG OR ANY PET CHICKEN
I can not express enough to people in the vet clinic how *seriously* dangerous this is to your pets life. Chicken bones are splintery and even boneless skinless chicken can have bone fragment that while fit perfectly fine down our esophagus, a cat has a much smaller one and please don't ever feed your cat chicken, cooked or not again.

On that note I'm going to give you a few possible scenerios.

One, your cat got a bone fragment stuck in his throat and has been coughing on it, causing vomiting and dehydration. (then more he eats and drinks the more irritated his esophagus becomes the more dehydrated he becomes, until eventual death.)

Or, you cat has a parasite. Probably roundworms, could be tapeworm(not likely) Try asking your vet what kinds of food they sell for your cat, as it sounds to me like your cat doesn't have a well balanced diet and maybe you don't feel that way too, which is why you chose to feed him some real meat? Ask your vet if there is something you can get mayce special order or something, if not, then perhaps try hooking up with someone in the states that can send you a more reputable food for your lovely.

Seeing a vet will surely detect what is wrong. I hope its one of these things and nothing more serious. Theses are the most likely instances, there could be something more. But if its one of these, then the treatment will be mainly simple. (So long as the bone fragment is good sized enough to reach in and grab out, and not so large that it left a huge gash in the esophagus) everything should go well and prognosis should be good :) Don't freak out, but do me a favor. Don't ever...for any purpose, please...do not EVER give your cat chicken again, unless it is in his cat food.

Great you're taking him to the vet -- good for you and your love!

Your cat sounds like a person who visits Mexico and experiences similar symptoms due to the water and food down there. It could be his system is not accustomed to the food in your new environment.

I read an 'answer' tonight that provided a web site for good cat food -- www.cat-food-zone.com -- Also, in the same question answered, a woman suggested the following to be the best canned cat foods. Don't know where you're located, but perhaps one of these varieties are offered in your new location.

Best canned food listed by another answerer was, "Eagle Pack, Natural Balance, Feliae, Solid God and Prarie."

Wrote the information down immediately and in hopes that it will help the wild cat I feed. Hope your cat gets properly diagnosed and that this new info was helpful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your loved one!

Be definite whilst you name your vet to invite approximately the threat of dehydration. Any animal discomfort from diarrhea is at danger of fitting dehydrated, which may also be very detrimental. For this night, make certain she's bought handy entry to as so much contemporary and blank water as she desires. It feels like a irritating and complex crisis. It's a well factor you are calling your vet once more, on account that it feels like you want a few support dealing with this. It feels like she's dissatisfied along with her clutter field. It would be a influence of her affliction and some thing is inflicting the diarrhea, and for that you can want the support of a vet, once more. On the opposite hand, if she's unsatisfied along with her clutter field, that would encourage her to move at the carpet, range, or anyplace else that's NOT her field. Make definite the field is conveniently out there and hold it VERY blank. It would additionally support to make certain it is in a quiet situation wherein she would possibly not be disturbed at the same time she's utilising it.

Answer 6

I don't have the answer to your problem, because my cat has the similar problem. If you get the answer can u please notify me. I think our cat's maybe a little constipated, but I wanted to be sure before I take him to the vet. By the way, my cat's name is Salem.

Answer 7

hopefully you had your cat vaccinated for distemper? could he have gotten into poison? vomiting water is not good. He sounds ill to me, not reacting to food or hairballs or anything. Good luck.

Answer 8

chicken can easily go of, so that's probably ur problem, ur cat probably has a bit of food poisoning
