Hello there! I’m sorry to hear about your cat’s ongoing diarrhea after surgery for a foreign body removal. It’s understandable to be concerned, and you’re taking the right steps by seeking advice.
Diarrhea post-surgery can be due to a few reasons. Your cat might be experiencing stress, which affects digestion. The surgery and anesthesia can upset their gastrointestinal tract, or they could be reacting to any medications prescribed during recovery. Additionally, changes in diet, be it temporary diets suggested post-surgery or decreased appetite, may also contribute.
At home, you can help by sticking to a bland diet recommended by your vet, such as boiled chicken or plain rice, to ease their stomach. Ensure they're drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration – a cat fountain might encourage them.
Watch for signs like lethargy, vomiting, blood in the stool, or if your cat is not eating, as these can indicate more serious issues like infection or complications from the surgery.
Given the persistence of the diarrhea, it’s important to explore this further. Booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet would be a great step to assess your cat’s health and guide the next steps in their care. Wishing your kitty a speedy recovery!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
