What could be wrong with my cat to cause his diarrhea?

Thank you for your question. I apologize for the delay, this venue is not set up for urgent emails. Parasites are quite common in kittens, and can cause diarrhea. If they are still having problems, It would be best to have your pet seen by a veterinarian, as they can examine them, see what might be going on, and get any testing or treatment taken care of that might be needed.

My cat had a small spot of fungus but it went away before but this time it came back again and is spreading in the parts of skin where there are folds like below the neck and near his underarms the doctor said that it will take some time but I want to try apple cider vinegar for the fungus as it is spreading and not improving.

If there is no improvement, you may need to speak with your Veterinarian about the type of topical treatment used and to get a prescription strength ointment as well as getting a systemic antifungal medication. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

My cat was diagnosed with fungal infection and was prescribed otizole and was directed to apply every 12 hours in the infected area for a period of 1 week. It’s been one week and the infection doesn’t look any better but has spread further in the area.

If there is no improvement and the infection has seemed to have spread it may be worth getting a culture and sensitivity test to determine the specific infection (fungal or bacterial) as well as a suitable treatment; also in some cases topical treatment is insufficient and systemic treatment most likely is required.

My cat recently went to the vet because she had a paw pad infection and shes had a cone on for almost a week and a half and i went to go take it off today because i noticed her paw is 96% healed but when i reached for the cone i noticed her ear was bright red and had a lot of yellowy scabs in it, I cleaned it out easily but it looks quite raw inside and I feel really bad for her. I was thinking either an ear infection/inflammation from the cone rubbing up on her ears for a week or maybe a reaction to the meds she's on? Any idea what it could be, and whether I should take her into the vet or wait to see if it heals on its own now that the cone is off? thanks!

You should take North into your Veterinarian to be on the safe side, a cone shouldn’t cause this level of irritation to the ear so it would be good to check with your Veterinarian plus we don’t want North scratching her ear if the cone is off. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

My cat is having fungal infection determined by my Vet he has given ointment and spray to apply thrice ,but I don't find any improvement . He has following symptoms ,before showing to doctor above right ears at one patch of dandruff which I combed away but found hairball hence showed doctor ,by day 2 his conditioned worsended with complete loss of hair from right earside with brown patchy skin on side of right side of neck ,and brown crusty right ear.. before spreading I started prescribed treatment but I am paranoid with misdiagnosis as my cat is not getting healthy instead his condition seem to worsen.

Without examining Bell I cannot confirm the diagnosis, but remember that fungal infections may take some time before improvement is seen; using medicated antifungal shampoos along with topical ointments can be helpful but in severe cases systemic treatment may be required. If there is no improvement after five days or so of treatment you should return to your Veterinarian. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
