Cheddar has diarrhea and was wondering if it is safe to give slippery elm. If so, some help with dosage would be greatly appreciated. His bum is also red, is there anything I can do to help sooth his bum?
As EmandJee said, all young kittens need de-worming and they should also be tested for parasites. In the meantime a more gentle transition to a very mild wet food may help, or a water absorbing wet food like W/D can be very helpful too, but none of this will replace a vet visit and routine kitten care like de-worming. PLease don't use OTC de-wormers ok
Yes there have been recent changes to his food. I'm weaning him off the bottle onto soft food. This is when the diarrhea started. It's not completely watery, just loose.
