Duo problem. No, not both my cats. One of my cats and me.

I saw the first reply, I hope your cat wasn't accidentally poisoned..If so, she will need a vet and the more she "excretes" from her body, the better and like it is mentioned, plenty of water. If it goes too long, perhaps you can get her to eat rice, because that is what I was told when my shepherd had diarrhea, but you may want to check on how rice affects a cat's body first..Keep us updated and I pray you both are on your way to recovery real soon..

besides the possibility of poisoning, it's also possible that both of you have amoeba infection, most common in out country is E.Histolytica, it can be passed from humans to pets and vice versa. The name of the game is to prevent dehydration and lose of body electrolytes. Also try taking body temperature if there is fever, you have to control that too, good luck and hope you be well soon.

I am so sorry that you both have the diarrhea. One old cure for the problem is rice water. Take about a cup of rice and boil it in three cups of water. Then both of you can start drinking the rice water. As for you, stay away from solid foods...eating stuff like clear jello (not the puddings), broth without meat or other stuff in it, and plenty of water. While the cat food has rice in it, it's the "food" that keeps the diarrhea coming. Try to get Creamie to drink the rice water. Keep the food intake to a minimum, which is hard for a cat. But the stuff in solid foods will irritate the intestines and bowels keeping the problem going. I highly doubt that the problem was caused by a poisoned mouse or that you gave it to each other. It could be as simple as a change in your water. I am on a well and periodically I will get diarrhea from minute changes in the water. We chlorinate the water but some microbes can survive the chlorination. I will also check my cat books to see if they have something for the cat. According to my vet books, it suggests a bland diet. Mix rice with boiled lean meat such as beef or chicken. Then feed small amounts of the mixture to the cat every four hours. If your cat doesn't like rice, substitute pasta or mashed potatoes (not instant because of the chemical additives) If after two days the stools are still loose try adding a little bit of fiber to the diet. The fiber will help draw the liquid out of the stool and will make the stool firmer. It also slows the fermenting action in the colon. Also give him Gatorade. It will help replace the electrolytes in the system. According to the vet book the cats seem to like the fruit punch flavor better. Also, cut out any dairy, don't give them any milk or cheese until the diarrhea had stopped. Hopefully these suggestions will help. But make sure that you cut back on her food intake and substitute it with a bland diet. The cat food takes digesting and right now it isn't being digested properly, hence the diarrhea.

i really don't think a human can get diahrea from a cat. I would call a vet and ask. We have a vet here that has been here for over fifty years. Diahrea is the pits. I have to be careful after I eat something because it seems to go right through me. Poor Creamie. lol

I am very careful in treating cats, if this cat has lost weight due to this problem time to travel that 20 miles and see the Vet. Dogs you can treat with Peptos. But never give a cat any meds unless you are sure it's all right to do so. I guess you could look online if you can find a site you can trust. Good luck

Maybe you can try some cheese. I have heard that it can stop it. I know there are some things that can be passed between people and animals but it's not many things. I hope that mobile vet is available. Is he acting ill other than that or does that seem to be the main issue? I hope you two get to feeling better.

Feed him rice. It worked for me when Sandy first came.
