Evaluation of two diets in the nutritional management of cats with naturally occurring chronic diarrhoea.

This study investigates how diet can affect cats with chronic nonspecific diarrhoea. Cats received either a highly digestible moderate carbohydrate diet or a highly digestible high-protein and low-carbohydrate diet. Fecal scores improved in 71% of cats, with no differences between the two diets, suggesting that dietary treatment may be useful in cats with chronic diarrhoea.
