I have a new kitten (8 weeks) who is coming with me when I move out of my parents' this fall. My parents have her brother, so right now we are a 2-cat household.
I'm currently feeding Blue Buffalo Longevity Kitten, because I tried to do some research and get the best thing I could find for them. They're eating the LifeSource bits (though often eat them last
) however their stool is runny and smells awful! Both have had a little blood in their stool, as recently as early this morning. They were dewormed (Strongid) 2 weeks ago, and just got a 2nd dose of Strongid this morning, though we don't have a fecal scheduled until next Tuesday. (I work at a shelter and a vet's office, so I was able to just bring Strongid home for the two of them.)
I am going to give it a little more time to see if they are just adjusting to the food? The shelter had them on Purina One, and I tried to mix some to gradually shift them, but they devour the BB, so we're currently just feeding that. They also get Nutro kitten wet food twice a day (each getting 1/4 can in the morning and 1/4 at night.) They both threw up after eating the Chicken/Tuna flavor, so now they're loving Salmon/Ocean Whitefish.
I don't mind shelling out the money for the dry food, as it lasts so long, but I know my parents aren't going to continue spending so much on wet food. Are there decent and affordable wet foods? I kind of want to wait for their diarrhea to stop before I go switching foods on them, but what if the food is causing the diarrhea? Help?
