So I think I finally fixed my cats loose stools after a couple months of food testings. Our youngest cat which is probably around 8 or 9 months now kept throwing up and having diarrhea with a horrible smell shortly after we got her. I took her to the vet and they said she may have worms, so we dewormed her and it seemed to fix the problem but shortly showed back up about 2 months ago. We have spent a ton a money on our 3 cats in the last year and right when it came back we just finished paying $1500 for one of our other cats who decided to eat some string. So I wanted to try and rule out the possibilty of just an allergy or food intolerance.
I tried several different and seemed to have luck with a few, but it shortly came back again. I tried a lot of grain free and also tried to stay away from seafood, and also tested with foods that had a few ingredients missing that are known to give cats stomach problems. Just before I was about to take her to the vet again I noticed it cleared up after having her on a new food for a couple days, and one that the other 2 seem to like. Im sure you all are aware how hard it is to get multiple cats to eat the same thing lol. But anyways Merrick limited ingredients is what Im currently giving them and all 3 seem to love it so Im going to stick with it. Its also saving me a lot of money because now I can just split one 5oz can instead of opening 2 to 3 smaller cans per feeding to meet everyone's standards. So my question is does anyone know the difference between Merrick limited ingredients and their regular wet food? Im wanting to try some of the other flavors but not sure if the food is completely different or if it will upset our youngest ones stomach again
