Okay so we have had our kittens since middle of July now. They will be 5 months old in September. I just want to ask you guys advice to make sure the feeding schedule we are on for them sounds okay as I am getting confused. They had runny poop so they were put on medi cal gastro intestinal high energy feline, wet and dry as recommend by a vet tec at the animal hospital we take them too. I am not crazy after research that this was the best idea. But it's a change in diet and we will see if their poop becomes more firm.
Well this is our schedule: They get half of a half can each of wet morning and evening along with 1/4 cup of dry each in the morning and evening but of course they eat the dry out of the same bowl so I have no idea how much each eat. I was told they don't need to graze as we had always keep the dry out and filled before. So we were told it would be best to get them on a schedule and this is what was recommended for a day. I find now that they eat a lot more in the morning as they are not grazing as much. So sometimes the afternoon they have nothing until supper time and then by bed time they are done and they are starving by morning. Is this okay or am I under feeding.I know they are growing kittens and am I doing them harm feeding them so little? Also curious as to when I up how much wet they get and when I up the wet do I decrease the dry? They seem to love the wet and gobble it up quickly. I can only feed them wet twice a day. I have written in another thread about how much I feed but thought i would post it here since this is the nutrition forum. thanks
