Feline infectious diarrhea.
This article reviews the common infectious causes of diarrhea in cats and discusses selected diseases in greater depth. A systematic approach to a cat with possible infectious diarrhea is presented, along with a detailed description of the best way to perform an in-house fecal examination. The goal here is to provide the reader with a logical list of differentials and the information necessary to pursue a diagnosis in an efficient manner.
