Last Saturday I adopted a 10 week old stray kitten. Nico has been to the vet, gotten his first round of vaccines, dewormed etc. He was doing fine until today when he started having diarrhea. It looks like pate and smells awful. He is still active and playful.
I will call the vet tomorrow but I'm worried that it may be due to dietary changes. The lady who had found him and had him a few weeks wouldn't tell me what he had been eating and said he had been eating a bunch of different brands of food so he would be ok with whatever I fed him. I think she said she wasn't feeding him wet food. It looked like she had adult food out for him by the size of the bits, and she had a bowl of kitty milk out as well.
I'll try to cut back on wet food but it will be hard to totally eliminate it since that's what my other kitten eats and Nico usually eats whatever is left behind in Percy's bowl. Any other advice on how to get his digestive track back to normal when I don't know what he had previously been eating?
