Feline Diarrhea & Metamucil Use. Metamucil is an over-the-counter supplement used as a digestive health aid. Its active ingredient is a bulk forming fiber called psyllium. Metamucil has been used to treat diarrhea in cats; however, always consult your veterinarian before treating your cat with any supplements or medications.
Do not give Metamucil to a cat who has kidney disease, an intestinal obstruction or difficulty swallowing. Psyllium can interfere with the absorption of some medicines, so make sure you follow your veterinarianâs dosing and administering instructions. Follow up with your veterinarian when giving your cat Metamucil.
