Hi,
My almost 3 year old cat, Ginny, is having some stomach issues.
As back ground, she was a stray that I rescued from a building site when she was 10-12 weeks old.
We put her on wet kitten food and she did great for a few weeks. Then she developed diarrhea and bloody stools. The vets said she likely had IBS, possibly due to her tough early weeks of life. They ran no tests.
We switched her to boiled chicken and tuna with a supplement mix made for cats. She did well on this.
She is very food obsessed and I was worried this may have been because her diet lacked something, and she was deficient in some core nutrients. I made the decision to switch her back to pet foods.
I had her on the Pro Plan sensitive tummy wet food and the Royal Canin sensitivity dry food. All good for a month. But now the diarrhea has started again.
I'm going to book her into the vets as soon as I can.
I was hoping some people here might have some ideas about what could be causing the issue. Or even what questions I should be asking the vets and what tests I should ask for.
It seems strange the both times she was on the pet food she was fine for a month or so before the diarrhea started.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
