[quote=Anonymous]Originally I thought it was worms because I thought I saw somethign white moving in stool and my older cat starting having loose stools too, so I bought some over the counter meds for tapeworm and gave it to both of them.  The older cat loose stool cleared up within a day, but not the kitten.  Then I started thinking that maybe it wasn't tapeworms and I should take him to the vet.  I went with sample of stool and doc said he seemed ok, but gave me drontal to give both cats, and sent stool out for tests.  Tests for worms came back negative and she gave me some metrodiazole (sp?).  Kitten has been taking this for 4 days now and no improvement.  Medicine is for 7 days which will end on Thursday.  I have not changed his food.  I don't give a high quality food (Purina One Beyond), but he's never had a problem with it before.

Is there anything else I should try?  I really can't afford to go back to vet.  Between OTC meds and the vet visit, it has been almost $200.  I just don't have that type of money.  The diarrhea wouldn't be that bad, but he makes such a mess.  He never gets it in the litterbox and I guess it drips because it's everywhere.  I have to keep him in basement now, because poop is always "leaking" out his butt (which is red, nasty looking).  I'm tired of cleaning up crap all over the floor.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.[/quote]
