Linus is right. Pedialyte is not an anti-diarrheal medication and will do nothing to stop your cat's diarrhea. It can even make it worse since it adds fluid to her system. Under no circumstances should you play "junior vet" and try to give her human medications or anything else to try to stop this. Diarrhea is not a normal occurence. True diarrhea is more than just loose stool. These stools have to be occuring at least a few times an hour or more. Linus is also right when he says take your kitty to the doctor. Senior Citizen cats, like Senior Citizen people, need to check in with their doctor a little more frequently as they age. If you have a vet and are a client in good standing, they will work out a payment plan for you. Even if you don't have a vet, I've never seen one turn away a sick cat because the owner can't pay right away. Vets don't become vets to get rich. They truly love animals and want to help. Hope your little old lady feels better fast!
