I recently purchased a kitten from a breeder. Since I got him (July 15th, 2013) he's had diarrhea, but it was mixed (half soft and half formed') The doctor prescribed Flagl, which didn't seem to work. He had been on the Royal Canin Kitten Development.
I did some searching and decided to switch him to a better quality food, but this seemed to make his stomach worse and he was bleeding, so I took him off and put him back on the original food. Then he started crying in his litter, so I took him to the vet. The vet thought maybe he has food allergies, so we tried the Royal Canin Gastro food and that made his diarrhea worse. He was then put on Royal Canin Hypoallergenic and another course of flagyl and it has gotten even worse. His poo stinks (so bad that sometimes you can smell it upstairs from the basement) and its watery and my kitten acts like he is starving! Otherwise he's full of energy!
Has anyone dealt with this or have any ideas what it could be? The vet thought maybe malabsorption, but based on what I've read about it, that doesn't seem right.
Thank you!!!
