I am curious if you any of you have had the same problem I have. Here is my story.
My wife and I adopted two 8 month old brothers (Tigger and Tommy) from a local Vet. A week later we bought 2 kittens at a pet store (I know, I know). Turns out one of the younger kittens (Benjamin) developed Distemper and almost died. But $2000+ later he was saved (worth every penny, you have to see him) but then one of our bigger ones contracted the same virus from Ben. He was saved as well. Right now my concern is the little ones, Benjamin and Molly. They were on heavy medication for prevention and to rid the virus from their bodies and I am afraid it may have taken their toll on their intestinal walls. The vet has checked them out and said they are fine. No bacteria in their stools. These two are growing like weeds and they have more energy than I have I have ever seen in any kittens. This can be proven by my lack of sleep since we got them (wife sleeps right through the raucous, don't know how). Right now they are on:
Innova EVO dry
Innova EVO canned
All 4 of our cats are on this and their coats are so shiny and vibrant. The energy levels of all 4 are insane so I know the quality of the food is outstanding. I am sure the medication wreaked havoc on their system (were taking Metronidazole and Sulfa-Trim) Anyone ever had constant diarrhea with their kittens? I am thinking the EVO may be too rich for their system for nowand I may try another holistic brand like Natural Balance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
