I recently have adopted a kitten named Tigger. She is such a darling, but unfortunately the humane society from which I got her from had left her in poor health by the time I adopted her. I am a senior college student so money is pretty tight, but nonetheless due to my adoration and worry about her I have spent almost $600 in vet bills in the last 3 months since I have adopted her. She has been on 3 courses of antibiotics, some for her respiratory infection (clavamox - twice) and some for her digestive issues (metronidzole - twice) along with an amino acid supplement and probiotics. She has recovered successfully from her respiratory infection but recently she has been experiencing very soft stools that really concern me (which was the reason for her last vet visit and which they gave her the metronidazole and probiotics). It had dissipated for awhile and now a few times a week she is experiencing the soft stools, so I have been supplementing her with small amounts of pureed pumpkin when this happens and it seems to generally clear up the problem for a short while. However, I love her so much and I am naturally a HUGE worrier, that I am wondering if what I am doing is just merely putting a band aid on the issue, despite the amount of visits she has had to the vet. Just on a side note she does eat quality food, I feed her blue wilderness kitten food that is 100% grain free. Just wondering if someone could offer some helpful advice as I feel like I am going out of my mind. I just want my baby to be happy and healthy.
