Diarrhea

Hello,
Ive noticed flat, clumpy stool in my cat's litterbox. It's probably occurs every other day or so. He also poops typical as well.

His flat stool is what I am assuming diarrhea. It is not bloody nor is it splattered anywhere on the walls of the litterbox.

I did switch his food, but that was months ago. I believe he's been on his current food for about 4 months (at least)

I'm planning on feeding him a little less. Also, I provide a scoop of raw, ground turkey every night.

Any suggestions before I take him to the vet?

thanks

My Encyclopedia of Poop considers flat clumps to be soft stools and not diarrhea. LOL. But, you should take a fresh sample to the vet for a full PCR. It could simply be his system adjusting to the variety of foods. It can take a long time for that to happen. Three of my SVs can eat everything and one gets tummy upsets from the slightest change. One time it took him a full year to get over it.

I don't know if he's ever been on antibiotics before, but you might try giving him some probiotics for a week or so. It helps re-balance the flora of the gut and can resolve diarrhea issues. On the other hand there are some foods that just don't agree with kitty tummies well. I had a diarrhea problem with Evo, once I changed brands the diarrhea resolved.
