It's possible that the tuna could have upset your cat's stomach, leading to diarrhea. While tuna can be a tasty treat for cats, it should be given in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
- Monitor your cat's symptoms and overall condition.
- Avoid giving tuna until the diarrhea subsides.
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen.
Cats sometimes have sensitive digestive systems. While many enjoy tuna, it's more suitable as an occasional treat. The oil and ingredients in canned tuna intended for humans might not agree with all pets. If your cat responds negatively to tuna, it's best to pause and offer a bland diet until recovery.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
