NEED SOME ADVICE ASAP!

Postby Jake&Kiwi'sMom » Fri Jan 14, 2011 10:31 am

My BF amazon Jake 20 years old... The past few days his poop has been looking different.... This morning his poo was greenish yellow liquid with a few green specks that looked like mouse droppings (about 4) and has a odor. :? Yesterday it was dark brown almost looked like strings or stips of brown with the greenish yellow liquid around it. I have been giving him birdie bread wich has spinach in it and other veggies . So i stopped giving him that incase that is what is doing it . Started that today .When I got him a month ago he was on just seeds I transfered him over to the the Zupreem Diet .His color is much brighter than it was he was so dull looking then . Any advice would be appriciated . I'm thinking that I may need to call the vet???? Oh and his feet is cold too 8 times out of 10. Thanks in advance!!!!!!! Pam :amazon: :sun:

The only thing that going to the vet could hurt is the wallet. If backing off the new food didn't make things right in very short order, I certainly would. I'm about to truck what is probably a perfectly healthy cat to the vet because something feels NQR.... if your gut says it's wrong, do it. And to me, based on what I've read, it sounds like it could be an infection, if there is a change in consistency and a bad smell.
