Yucky subject, sorry for the gross nature of the post!
I moved out of home 2 months ago into a rented cottage while I have work done at home, so had 2 litter trays for my cats. I'd noticed Floyd by big cat had runny poo but put it down to stress - they were both VERY stressed at the move. He seemed perfectly fine in himself so I wasn't too concerned.
So a few weeks on and they seemed settled but it was the same, so just to be safe I did worm him. Still no change. By now they were going out again. (but still using the litter trays often, as there is no cat flap here)
In this time my little cat was perfectly normal.
So a month on, and I wormed him again, (as he does eat mice!) but noticed him being sick about 10 mins afterwards, so not sure if the wormer tablet stayed down..... he was outside and I heard him but not sure where he was sick so couldn't check.
I have no idea how long he has had this going on, as like I said, he seems perfectly happy and normal in all other ways, no change at all, bright, alert, still hunting mice, purring and asking for cuddles, eating etc. If we'd not moved out, I'd be none the wiser.
He HATES travelling and howls and gets very distressed, the vet is back near my house, so I will take him once we're home but could still be a few weeks yet. I really don't want to take him there, then back, and then home, it's awful and I cry while I'm driving as he get so upset. I don't want anyone to think I'm avoiding taking him because I don't care!!!!
Can anyone suggest anything I could try in the meantime to see if would help? Any idea what it could be? I was even wondering if I could take a sample to the vet would they test it without seeing him? And helpful advice would be most welcome...... otherwise we'll hang on and I'll take him once we're back home.
Thanks
