My kitten ( almost 9 months) was on I/d too and I switched her to natures variety instinct pork. That's what was in I/d canned food. She was able to tolerate it without getting loose stools. I have kept her on the dry ... She gets a few crunchies at night.
No problem! I'm grateful for the site and I've read so much on here that any experience or info that I have , I like to pay it forward! It can be all consuming and terrifying when our "babies" aren't feeling well.
I gave her tender beef feast .. Classic. Then I tried it with gravy. I stayed...
Yes! That's part of the reason I switched her off that. And I figured since she was having ok poop on the I/D and that was pork I looked for a pork based food and found NV instinct. I think halo makes one too but had more stuff in it.
Btw... Her poop was never perfect on the I/D ... But it...
Hi... I'm not sure if its a live probiotic ... But I tried it too and felt better while I was on it !
I gave Blu a tiny bit of the new food and waited to see if anything happened... When nothing did I gave her half the can. From past experience I knew that if something didnt agree with her...
Hi Debbie
I'm no expert here but I can tell you my recent experience with my kitten Blu who is now 7 months old.
She had loose stools and diarrhea from the time I got her at 2 1/2 months. I tried all sorts of foods ... I had her on boiled chicken and rice mixed with pumpkin for a few weeks ...
Thanks! She has pudding poop that started to get better and then she ate other cats canned food ( she was eating spots stew other cat FF) and then back to pudding. It cleared up in past with chicken and rice etc so trying again but she looks so much better not eating the canned I want to...
Lol! I had the same thing with Blu jumping over the gates! I put up shower curtains so it appeared like they were doors and her nails couldn't grip them. Still works when I just want some peace but sometimes when they are all apart and get back together it 's all new again rather than "oh..it's...
That's great!! I hope Izzy and all the others continue to get along so well. The kitten has taken to sleeping on the dobermans head! They still chase her but now she initiates it and its a game! She has also discovered that they can't get her when she's on the table or back of the recliner or...
My 5 month old kitten has been having loose stools on and off for a few months. I have her on boiled chicken and rice with probiotics, pumpkin and Metamucil. I want to keep her on that with the addition of a supplement or add-in. I liked u -stew and wondered if anyone has tried it. I'd like to...
I got my kitten about 2 months ago.. She was 10 weeks old. I have a German Shepard and a Doberman and another cat. The first night I kept the kitten in a large dog crate and didnt introduce her to the others. The next day I let the dogs in one at a time to meet Blu. I kept her in crate. I did...
Thanks. No fish and no grains in FF classic turkey and giblets and liver and chicken. I don't want to give her dry food as it gave her diarrhea. Maybe when her system adjusts I will try adding a small amount of dry.
Thanks. For now I'm mixing the FF with a little Weruva and pumpkin and she is tolerating the mixture. I dont want to keep switching her food. I have also given smaller amounts and very frequent meals.
Thanks! It's good to see that even though you might have to start a kitten on a food that's not "great" , you can transition them to a better food as their bodies mature and can handle the higher quality foods. I tried Weruva last night and today ( mixing with FF kitten) and she threw it up...
