My cat's been on Hill’s Biome for a while now, and there's been non-stop diarrhea. Should I be concerned it's not working, or does it take more time?

My cat has been on Hill’s Biome for a while now, and I'm noticing that the diarrhea hasn't stopped. I thought this food would help soothe her digestive issues, but so far, it doesn't seem to be making a difference. Should I be concerned that this diet isn't working, or does it usually take more time to see improvements?

Answer

Your cat is experiencing persistent diarrhea despite being on Hill’s Biome, which is formulated to aid digestive issues. You're understandably concerned that the diet isn't working.

  • Monitor your cat's overall health and behavior.
  • Consider if there's been a dietary or environmental change.
  • Consult with a vet to explore other potential causes or solutions.

While Hill’s Biome is designed to support digestive health, individual responses can vary. It can take some time to see improvement, typically a few weeks. If there is no improvement or if symptoms worsen, it may be necessary to investigate other underlying causes or adjust the dietary plan.

Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
