we have an american shorthair who is 8 years old. when he was young he was left under my neighbor's porch by an unknown individual. when we finally took him in he was practically skin and bones from malnutrition (my neighbor did what they could to get food out to him). he was always a little plump and had tapeworms, we tried multiple times to get rid of them but they never fully went away. recently we think his body finally pushed them all out of his system because he lost a lot of weight very quickly, but still has his little bit of spunk, and we haven't seen them coming from him. ever since then he has had a problem getting to the bathroom in time. and when he does go his feces are very watery. we had to start feeding him canned cat food recently because he has also lost many of his front teeth, due to malnutrition as a kitten, and cant hold hard cat food in his mouth. he is our baby and i would like to help him. he is slowly getting better at making it to the bathroom, i think his body was just so adjusted to having the tapeworms that he needs to readjust it so he can make it.
if anyone has any suggestions that may help it would be appreciated. we have put a few more litter boxes around the house to help him make it to the potty.
