I just looked for unflavored and organic, --without anything else to go by it seemed to make the best option for purchasing
How was your transition process to the new dry food? Many cats cannot have an abrupt shift. It could be that the food switch went too quickly. I have had to blend two bags of food for Magnus for two orders of food before.So I'm almost positive another one of my cats threw up this morning. There was no hairball, it was all mostly undigested food right about a half hour after I fed them. I'm pretty sure Jax was with me when the vomit happened and now I'm even more worried since I believe I have two cats throwing up. The kitten that I brought in last month had diarrhea this morning as well. I did start them on a new food and I'm still on that first bag its Purina One Tender Selects Blend Chicken. Should I throw that bag out and start on the new one or maybe just go back to the old food I had them on that caused no issues (Science Diet Sensitive Stomach and Skin)? They were only on the sensitive stomach food because my cat that passed away in June would throw up after she ate sometimes, but they were on that for over 4 years. I don't believe its the wet food I'm giving them since I've been giving them different varieties of Fancy Feast for years too.
I've only had Jax's sample tested for parasites, is it worth it to have any of the others tested (especially the 6 month old kitten) when his was negative? I have 4 cats in total now and all of them have had loose stool and/or vomiting on and off for the last couple weeks. Previous to the last couple of weeks, none of my current cats have had any vomiting episodes, beyond a hairball every few months.
I can try this. I did forget to mention that i've been giving the kitten a separate dry food, Solid Gold, but he hasn't been eating it that much lately so I'm sure hes eating the Purina as well. I have seen the other adult cats eat a little bit of the Solid Gold kibble as well but never that much. I have dry food out all the time for them because I had an issue with Jax not getting enough food due to one of the other cats eating so much when I took him in as a stray in May. I think this is what led to Jax's liver issues so I always make sure they have dry food available now. I do try to separate them as best as I can now when I feed them wet food and I make sure Jax gets his portions but I still worry sometimes that he doesn't get enough food but hes never had a huge appetite the 7 years I've had him and has always maintained a weight between 9-10 pounds.Can you give them just the wet food for a couple days, hopefully get tummies settled down, and then see about adding back the old kibble?
I will admit that I made the transition too fast initially. When I noticed the loose stool a couple weeks ago I started giving them more of the old food again but as of right now I'm putting more of the new food in the bowls than the dry food. Probably about 3/4 new, 1/4 old. Should I be doing the opposite? Its probably been about 3 weeks since I started them on the new food.How was your transition process to the new dry food?
