I have a Bengal. She's my third. I lost my first two last year and I was a breeder so I had the Mama and her daughter. They both died of cancer within 9 mos of each other - Mama only being 15 1/2 and daughter not quite 14. In between the passing of my girls I bought a 17 week old female Bengal who was eating Royal Canin Adult Siamese brand dry food and raw chicken thighs. A former Bengal breeder myself, I do not believe in feeding these cats raw food. And I as shocked that she was being fed Adult Siamese dry food as a 17 week old kitten. Her poop smell was (and still is) absolutely hideous. She also has gas on occasion but don't we all!
In any case, I had her poop tested for Giardia because that's what it smelled like, and she had it. I gave her two rounds of Flagyl and it did nothing. I have since changed her food to the Wellness Original mixed with the Indoor cat formula, to no avail. This poop is absolutely horrendous smelling.
I'm not working and the vet is so expensive but, I feel strongly that something is wrong and I want to get it fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions on another food, or should I have her poop tested again or have her wormed or what? I'm at a loss. I'm out of work and living with my parents and their big dog, so she only has two (rather large) rooms to run in. Both of which stink to high heaven after she poops. Please help before I suffocate because you know she mostly poops at night!
Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thank you so much.
