Hello everybody. my cat pumpkin has been doing pretty well- with some help from fellow forum people over the past couple threads I posted!
One of the things that have been bugging me about Pumpkin's dietary habits is that although he does well with all types of good dry food, he starts having symptoms of diarrhea- not only that, I found out it is every time when I feed any type of wet food.
I tried conventional store brands, and then switched to trader joe fish, then even the chicken and rice can brands- all of them, although is good maybe in the beginning, after about a few days, you can see that it is causing him to get severe diarrhea, leading to running stools, sometimes even with a tiny bit of blood. As such, he starts to poop outside the box, obviously yelling at me (figuratively) to stop feeding him those kinds.
After all that I have just been feeding him dry food for a couple months now, and as predicted, his stools are fine. He isn't pooping outside either.
However, I know that feeding pumpkin just dry foods can cause severe problems in the future, so I want to find a good brand of wet food, FOR CATS THAT SUFFER FROM DIARRHEA based on conventional wet food brands.
Also, back when I used to feed him wet food, I always gave one quarter of a conventional can size two times a day, and made sure to leave it out from the fridge at least an hour before feeding it to him.
Any general advice on what to try feeding him will be great. Although I prefer products that are affordable, at this point, I am willing to spend extra money if needed for a good wet food brand for pumpkin.
Thanks everybody in advance.
