Annie and Mosby have had some stomach issues. Luckily I rescheduled their vet for today at 3pm, so they can have fecals and we can hopefully get to the bottom of this. Mosby is back hopping around and wrestling things, but I feel bad for poor Annie, I gave her wet food that I thought would make her feel better but she's had purely liquid diarrhea and has been throwing up phlegm. I feel like a bad mom.


I'm going to give them the wet food they like this morning and am considering buying some other dry food for them this afternoon if the fecal comes back negative. I really think the LifeSource bits in the BB are too hard to digest-- Mosby threw up some LifeSource bits tonight, just before Annie started throwing up. (Though this was the first time this has happened with a week of BB, so I'm not sure I'm ready to blame the dry food just yet.)

So far they've thrown up on Nutro MaxCat Chicken/Tuna and By Natural 95% Turkey. I just feel really bad because it's whenever I change the wet food that they vomit, but they keep having constant diarrhea. Why are all these wet foods making them so sick???

How old are the kittens? Is this kitten food you are feeding them?
I am sending vibes for them. Good thing you are going in for a check today.

Let us know.

They are about 9-10 weeks now, or that's our best guess. Annie looks a little smaller so I'm planning on asking the vet just to be sure! And the foods are kitten foods-- BB Longevity Kitten and Nutro MaxCat kitten wet.

The fecal showed no parasites but we went ahead and gave them Strongid and Albon bc the vet thought they might still have something. They also got their shots so they've been sleeping most of the day. My vet suggested keeping them on the same food and using the wet food that doesn't make them sick at least until their stool becomes more solid.

Thanks everyone!

Also thank you everyone for the good thoughts, I really appreciate it. I didn't think things would work this quickly!
