Runny Pooh

all three of my kittens had runny stool.......Everyone was dewormed at the end of June, both doses given. Stool got round and looked good. Now we are back to runny. All kittens are inside only. All kittens are flea free, all kittens eat EVO kibble all kittens drink out of a clean water bowl. All kittens play and sleep like they should, none have gas none are puking. All kittens eat everything they can wrap teeth around, carpet, thread, paper, bed spread, yarn from blankets, one has been caught licking soap, also licking sponge. We keep bathrooms closed at all times. I clean with simple green, but use clorox wipes on counter tops before I cook and after I finish. Treats are kept to a few a day. I use Worlds Best litter. My one thing I thought may be a problem, is the baking soda in the litter box bottom. I dumped out boxes and washed out with water, added fresh litter. So now we will see. ANY thoughts would be helpfull. I have stoped giving wet food due to the runny problem.

Chances are they either came with parasites in their intestines, Giardia or Coccidia or they need more de-worming. We usually deworm 3 times but in any case i'd take a stool sample to a vet for a parasite test.

Also, its possible the food is the cause particularly if its rich. You might want to try a mild wet food like iams chicken or human baby food chicken, stage one only and see if it helps.

Parasites in the intestines can be dangerous. Get a stool sample tested promptly.

Okay the last 4 stool samples were neg. but that was 3 weeks ago I can ask for another set. They were born here in my home so they were just born with it, or the Mother cat had something. Wet food make all pooh like water.

Thanks all, I went to the store and read more lables.......I found something that I hope will work, it has no gluten, and not full of corn meal. Blue Buffalo Co. Spa Select. Chicken & Brown Rice. The list of ingredients is pretty good, so I am adding it with the EVO right now. EVERYONE likes it, so we will see if I can mix it with the rest of the EVO I have, and see how it goes.
Again thanks to all!
