Hi there. My 9 week old kitten, Kink has been with us for almost 5 weeks now. He was separated in the bathroom (away from my two adult cats) for the first three weeks until I could get him tested for FIV and FeLV a week ago. He also received his first booster and shot for leukemia (which I never would have given him had I read some of these posts earlier...).
So anyway, this test and shot routine was done a week ago Saturday. The following Monday I started leaving him out with the big kids during the day and night. We had him out previously on supervised visits and everything seemed peachy.
I noticed on Wednesday/Thursday he started having loose stools - light brown in color. I'm attributing this to the newly added stress of being out of the bathroom and the booster shot. Could this be true?
It started to firm up but I'm a little worried. I did change his food at that time...he was on Wellness kitten and I slowly switched him to Merrick Turkey Dinner. I have been feeding him a different canned kitty food for two weeks at a time so he doesn't get picky like the others. Could this be upsetting him as well? Thanks!!!
