OK. Figaro's got some runny poops going on! Here's my dilemma.

He is still yellowed from poo/pee from before I got him. With every bath, he gets cleaned & cleaned. He also stinks from that.

Do I give him just butt baths for the poop stuck there? Or do I go ahead & do the whole body bath to get him white?

Honestly, people are looking past him because he is yellow. I've had two people pick other kittens because he looks "dirty".

i would give him a bath, until hes clean( no yellow) there is kitty shampoos out there for kittens and cats with white fur, that might help get him white faster.

once he is white, you should be able to use baby wipes for those runny times. Good Luck!!!

what have you used on him to bath? last year when i had a smillar problem (long haired) with upset tummy , i would only do bum baths unless she got really mucky then i would do body baths, but she is mostly black.
i always used a small amount of mild baby shampoo and it seemed to do the trick.

I've been using a Brightening shampoo. It says it is safe to use on kittens as young as 6 weeks. That is right about Figaro's age. It has been helping get him whiter, too.

And his bum. It's like all down his tail. On his back legs. Eww...just everywhere. (He will get a vet check about it!)
