Hello..! My kitten Kirby is 9 months old and she has had diarrhea since the very first day I got her five months ago. I don't know what to do... I have taken her to the vet many many times where she has been tested for all sorts of parasites (tested 3 different times) all negative, she has been on antibiotics four times now, and is now on a prescription high energy gastrointestinal food. Her last bout with antibiotics was last week, and she finally had solid poop for about a week! Well, two days ago, I noticed she had the drippy poops. I had started introducing Canidae food, so I immediately went back to just the prescription food, however, saw no change later that night. I gave her some fortiflora that night and yesterday, along with some pumpkin and it is a bit firmer, but still drippy. I have tried all sorts of cat food except raw at this point. I've tried Canidae (which has been the best so far), Nature's Variety Instinct, Nature's Balance LID, Science Diet (she hated this one), Royal Canin kitten (barely ate it), Orijen, Fromm, and Blue Buffalo. I free feed her dry food and give her half a can of wet food every night with a little bit of pumpkin and now the fortiflora. The vet is just as confused as I am since she has passed every test... If there is any advice at all, please let me know!!!! I hate coming home to see that she has a drippy booty... it's much worse when she sits down on my furniture and then I have to clean it.... I am considering raw but even after reading tons of articles, am not sure exactly what I need to get and do in order to make sure she is getting all the nutrients needed. I am desperate... Vet bills for her have probably been around $800 total for just this problem.... Cannot spend more money on this. I am starting her on benebac since I read that it is better than fortiflora. Hopefully that will help a little bit.
