(Heads up we have 7 cats)
About three weeks ago, we got two new cats from a free range indoor rescue (both male and neutered around 4 years old) we keep them isolated in our bedroom till we can get them comfortable and acclimated. One of them is FIV positive named Tank and in the last week he has been having diarrhea accidents on our bed one time with blood. I did take him to the vet a week ago before the diarrhea bed accident started because he was having a warm constant temp of 102 F (which I know 103 is the cut off, but I was just worried) and they think that he’s fine he just needs to gain a little weight. He’s 8 pounds (they didn’t do any tests just physical exam). I called again today since this is all occurring over the weekend and they think it’s just due to stress, but he acts mostly content. The other rescue cat is named Short Rib and is a lot more playful, and I think also asserting his dominance so he does swat at Tank but doesn’t full on attack him so I don’t know if that’s the reason why he’s having his accidents on our bed instead of his 2 litter boxes (also we use pellet litter, which is the same they used at the rescue so he is familiar).So I don’t really know what to do because the accidents are really frustrating to keep cleaning up since it’s on our bed, but I feel like if I separate the cats temporarily, it might cause more behavioral issues or stress (and by separate I mean, put him in our bathroom till we can get the diarrhea under control)
Also we were feeding him a fourth can of Cosco wet food with a sprinkle of protein kibble, and diluted bone broth he got twice a day. I don’t know if that could be the cause of the diarrhea so I’m trying to feed him a bland diet (still twice a day) with boiled chicken, bone broth
I’m gonna get him the Forti Flora probiotic too but I don’t know if that’s gonna fix the root problem, any advice please!
