Here is the backround: she has had this loose stool issue since we rescued her from the farmers barn, she has been tested for worms/stool sample twice and clear both times
as long as she is on a ground chicken, rice, pumpkin, wet cat food she does ok...stool still soft but formed
she is crazy for our other rescues dry food but if we go straight dry she has loose stool. I mean liquid, but no blood or mucus.
put her back on chicken diet and she is ok
we need some suggestions/help for her since we have 3 other rescues all eating dry food and it is extremely difficult to feed two diets since they are all inside cats. Also the chicken diet sours after 2-3 days even with refrigeration so must be made every 2-3 days!
1) we have tried diferentf brands w/wo grain, etc. and no difference
We have also tried mixing in gradual amounts of dry food into the chicken diet but always results in loose stool when the proportion becomes too high,
2) she is almost hyperactive all the time, never still..if this plays a part in the problem
3) the loose stool starts within 12-24 hours of dry food introduction
we really want to continue to have her as a part of the "family" but the strain is telling on my wife and I.
we are looking for answers to what might be wrong
we are looking for a feeding solution if the cause can't be determined
we are on a fixed income and can't afford the vet to test for everything and try this and if it doesn't work pay again and try this, etc.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
