I adopted a 6 week old kitten about 14 days ago, I don't know a thing about cats - never had any, always dogs - but I got it because all it's siblings had been adopted and no one else would take the poor thing. Anyways, ever since I got the kitten it has had really bad diarrhea with stinky poop. I fed it me-O adult cat food - not knowing kitten food was different and then after reading some forums I switched to Whiskas Junior Jelly and Me-O kitten dry food in between (where I live, these brands are the only ones available). The diarrhea went away for a while after that but it's come back worse than ever! My poor kitty has been having accidents all over the house and it cries a lot when it's in the litter box. I took it to a vet but again, where I live - the vet is of no help. I have taken him to 3 different vets and all of them just give him some Flagyl (metronidazole) and send him away.
He had his blood tests done and his temperature checked - all normal. I have no idea what's wrong with him, he's a very active kitten (Thank God) no lethargy, but the diarrhea is NOT going away. I'm giving him rehydration solution.
Can anyone please help me? Like am I doing something wrong? Should I switch him to home cooked food?
