My Cat Has Diarrhea — Is It Something Serious?

Cat diarrhea can signal anything from a minor dietary upset to a dangerous infection. The Kedi Labs Diarrhea Check for Cats uses advanced PCR technology to screen for the bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens most commonly responsible for feline diarrhea — including feline-specific threats that other tests miss.

What's Included

Test Feature Category Why It Matters
Bacterial Pathogen Detection PCR Molecular Test Screens for common bacterial causes of feline diarrhea including Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Clostridium species.
Viral Pathogen Detection PCR Molecular Test Tests for feline-specific viral infections including Feline Coronavirus and Panleukopenia.
Parasitic Pathogen Detection PCR Molecular Test Detects parasites like Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Toxoplasma, and Tritrichomonas.
Free FedEx Priority Overnight Shipping Results within 48–72 hours of lab arrival.

Sample Requirements

Fecal: Collect a grape-sized fecal sample from your cat's litter box using the supplies in your kit.

Pro Tip: Collect the freshest sample possible. If your cat shares a litter box, try to isolate them temporarily to ensure you're testing the right cat's stool.

Frequently Asked Questions

My kitten has had soft stool since adoption — should I test?
Yes. Chronic soft stool in kittens is commonly caused by Tritrichomonas, Giardia, or Coccidia — all detectable by PCR and all treatable.

Could my cat's diarrhea be Feline Coronavirus?
This panel screens for Feline Coronavirus (FeCoV), the precursor virus to FIP. Detection helps you and your vet monitor your cat's health.

Can I collect the sample at home?
Yes. Simply scoop a sample from the litter box and ship with the free prepaid label.

WHEN TO TEST

If your pet exhibits any of these common symptoms:

  • Persistent Diarrhea: Diarrhea that lasts for more than 2-3 days and does not improve with dietary changes or basic at-home treatments warrants further evaluation.
  • Severe Diarrhea: Diarrhea that is severe, frequent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the stool should prompt diagnostic testing.
  • Blood in Stool: The presence of blood in the diarrhea or feces (hematochezia) can indicate underlying issues that require investigation.
  • Dehydration: If diarrhea leads to dehydration, which is characterized by symptoms like sunken eyes, dry gums, or excessive lethargy, diagnostic testing is essential to identify the underlying cause.
  • Weight Loss: Unexplained weight loss in a dog with diarrhea may indicate a chronic gastrointestinal issue that requires diagnosis and treatment.
  • Change in Stool Quality: If the diarrhea is accompanied by changes in stool consistency (e.g., watery, mucous-like, greasy), it may indicate an underlying problem.
  • Fever: The presence of a fever along with diarrhea may indicate an infection or inflammatory condition that requires testing.
  • Recent Dietary Changes: If the diarrhea occurs shortly after a change in diet or introduction of new treats or food, it may be necessary to rule out dietary intolerance or food allergies.
  • Travel or Exposure: If the dog has recently traveled, been in contact with other dogs, or has been exposed to potentially contaminated environments, it's important to consider infectious causes and perform appropriate tests.
  • Chronic or Recurrent Diarrhea: Dogs with ongoing or recurrent diarrhea may have underlying gastrointestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or parasites, that require a thorough evaluation.

THE POWER OF PCR TESTING

PCR tests are exceptional because they detect very small amounts of genetic material from pathogens or abnormal cells, so a small sample is all that is needed to complete a lab test. A testing machine measures the amount of genetic material in the sample to determine how much of the pathogen or abnormal cell is present.  PCR tests are very accurate and sensitive for diagnosing diseases or finding genetic changes that can cause disease.

PCR tests are also very fast, which is why Kedi Labs offers them to our customers. Our mission is to offer affordable, fast pre-screening labs for pet owners to ensure that patients needing care urgently are seen quickly by their veterinarians.  We are committed to making a positive impact in the field of veterinary care and making quality veterinary care more accessible to pet owners.
