I have two 7 month kittens, Nico & Percy. When I first got Nico he had been fed whatever food was cheapest (it looked like dog food) and was having diarrhea. The vet put him on a dewormer for a week and had me start feeding the cats Royal Canine gastro intestinal high energy. I get this from my vet's office with a prescription card, and they charge a lot for it.
I decided to start switching the cats over to Wellness complete health kitten. I gradually switched them over and today went 100% wellness. Percy loves the new food, has so much more energy and is more playful. Nico on the other hand is gassy and having aweful smelling poo.
I've never had a cat before so I don't know what is normal. Is this something that will go away in a day or two when he adjusts or is there an ingredient in the new food that is (and may never) sit well with Nico? I would prefer to have the cats on a food that is bit more affordable and avaliable at the local pet stores, but I don't want to make my pet sick either. Nico seems happy, he isn't using the litter box more frequently or having diarrhea, it just smells much stonger than before.
