i'll fill you all in on these guys later (2 boys both black and whites)
but right now i need advice on one of them- he is the "sicker" of the two, they both have colds- one is almost over it but the other still has runny eyes and seems to be stuffed up,
and now he has loose poops and the loudest rumblings in his tummy i've ever heard!!
i'm afraid i switched the food too quickly- they came with some Iams dry and i mixed it with anohter dry food
bad mistake, i'm seeing....
i'm gonna run out and get a bag of Iams kitten food,
but i've also given them both canned food- i put it on my fingers and let them eat it off them
i want them to associate my hands with good things, you know?
my question is, do you think i should hold off on the canned food for the guy with the upset stomach?
in my experience with *adult* cats, canned food is less likely to cause digestive upset than dry
for now the boy with the upset tummy will get the Iams he is used to and chicken baby food (he needs the most coaxing, is the most scared/shy, so i planned to do this anyway)
but what do you think about the canned food? is there a brand/flavor that is better for kittens?
i've got Friskies, FF and Proplan
so far they seem to prefer the Friskies (poultry platter)
and how much canned vs dry should i be giving them esp the one with the upset tummy?
as far as i know, they've only had dry food up til now
they both LOVE the canned
thanks in advance for any ideas
