Is it possible a certain brand of food could make the stool just a little bloody? I've read kit n kaboodle is one of the worst for cats and that's what I've used. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same kind of issue
Definitely! One of my cats had bloody diarrhea for a long time from right when I got her and we could not figure out why. Finally the vet thought it could be a food allergy, but the 'special' diet she was given by the vet (Hills) was pretty crappy with a lot of ingredients that cats would not normally eat. It could be anything- fish, beef, corn, milk, wheat, soy, etc. The only way of knowing for sure is to do an 'elimination diet'. Start with a single protein that your cat has never had. I started with rabbit- canned from Natures Variety and raw nuggets from Primal. Use commercial products to ensure your cat is getting adequate nutrition- taurine, vitamins, etc. Feed her only this food, no treats or anything else, until you see her improve. Once the symptoms have cleared up (should take a few weeks) start adding one more single protein at a time until the symptoms come back- then you know what is causing it. So start with rabbit, then add chicken, if she's fine then add fish, and so on. I found out my cat is allergic to fish, so I now feed her chicken and turkey, and never dry food! I read all ingredients carefully as many foods have fish added for flavour. I found that Friskies chicken pate and chef's dinner work for her, and President's Choice chicken if you can find it where you are. There are of course many good high-end foods as well in better pet stores.Is it possible a certain brand of food could make the stool just a little bloody?
