My cat has had the runs for awhile now. Her litter box gets so nasty. She has been on the same diet since I got her. Is there anyway I can help her tummy?

Diarrhea could be caused by parasites, change in diet, toxin ingestion, infectious viral diseases, blockage in the intestines caused by ingestion of a foreign body, stress, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please make an appointment to have Mary Jane seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible, as diarrhea can lead to dehydration that can be dangerous if left untreated, especially in a young kitten. Your vet can help determine the cause of Mary Jane’s symptoms and hopefully help her feel better. Good luck!
