Last Friday (Jan 25) a 3-4 month old kitten ran into my house when I opened the door to go to the store and I decided to take him in and care for him.
A couple days later I took him to the vet just to see if he was chipped, he wasn't. They didn't really do an exam on him but I'm going to tomorrow, especially now because I think he may be ill.
When I first got him I was feeding him Whiska pouches and he ate them fine and liked them, then when they ran out I stupidly bought a Walmart brand of cat food called Special Kitty and he didn't like it, I tried feeding it to him for 2 days just to see if maybe he'd get used to it, he didn't, so I got a refund and bought a different brand.
Today is when I switched his food brand, but today he has loose soupy stools, and a grumbly stomach and he even pooped on my bed while meowing and pooped on the floor, and when I pick him up poop comes out. This is troubling because he's yet to poop or pee outside of the litter box. I think he is pooping on accident, he doesn't mean to do it. When he's closer to the litter box today he goes there, but he was upstairs when this happened. Sorry to be graphic. I don't know if this is caused by the Walmart brand food or what.
Today besides that he has been really lethargic and doesn't want to play, didn't even want to eat his treats, he IS eating some food though, and I've seem him drink water.
Also one last thing, often times today his 3rd eyelid will be visible in the corner of his eyes, covering some of his eyes. He never did this before today.
Anyways do you guys think this is just a stomach bug caused by crappy food? Do you think this will pass? If he is not better by tomorrow I'm rushing him to the vet.
