Belle has now been with me just shy of 3 weeks. In that time I am amazed by how much poop she is producing, on some days I am finding as many as 6 in a previously clean litter tray.
She also farts something rotten - in general and also when I pick her up. They are SUPER stinky, as is her poop.
I asked the vet when she received her 2nd jabs this week, and was given a worming tablet. Vet also had a feel of her tummy, because obviously pooping 6 times a day is not normal for any kitty. Even if they eat lots.
I figure she is probably still getting used to regular meals, having been found by the Cats Protection as a stray with her kittens, but she will have been on regular feeding for at least 7 weeks now - from living with her fosterer and then me, so I'm guessing regular meals aren't the cause of it.
Vet said her intestines did feel enlarged/swollen, which sounds like it could be a parasite, so a dose of drontal should help with that, yes?
Anyone had this issue with their kitty? The vet said to feed her as normal, she seems healthy and happy otherwise - just stinky (thus we have started calling her Stinker Belle)
