I have 4 feral kittens I'm fostering that I think are about 8-9 weeks old. When i took them from mama they were about 5-6 weeks old and had not been weened yet. I started them on KMR and then transitioned them to wet food (Wellness Kitten, Blue Kitten, and Weruva paw lickin chicken/foul ball) which they've been on for about 3 weeks. Although sometimes i have to change their food slightly and add in a different brand of pate wet food. They're healthy looking (no coughing/sneezing, running noses/eyes) normal weight. They eat, play, do all things normal but some of them were having diarrhea that I was pretty sure was food related as I know that diarrhea can be normal in kittens. Most of the diarrhea has cleared up but I have what appears to be one that that still has it. I've de-wormed them all (only once about a week ago with Pyrantel Pamoate i was going to repeat again next week), and I'm giving them a probiotic to try and help the digestion.
My question is: Is it normal to have one kitten taking longer to adjust to food than the others? I'm not really keen on feeding them any dry food especially because I live in the desert where its very hot. Taking all 4 to the vet isn't really in the budget right now, although they are going to a lost cost clinic for FIV/FeLV testing etc. next week and i think i could do a fecal test if necessary.
Thanks.
