Hello!
My kitty Jiji is 4 months old, after adopting him we were alternating 2 different types of food just to give him some variety and to try to get him used to different tastes, however this resulted in runny poo with occasional fresh blood at the end. We decided to wait thinking maybe he would get used to it but after a week the situation was the same. So I called the vet who suggested us to feed him chicken and rice for 48h until the stool got normal and then feed him just one type of food. Unfortunately after 1 meal of chicken and rice our kitty started having very loose stool and vomit and the morning after showed signs of hunger but refused to eat the chicken and rice again. He also had a pout of diarrhoea that was just mucus. I took him to the vet who said she wasn't worried as he had a normal playful behaviour, she just prescribed the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food for kitten and the probiotics Prokolin. She also told me to do another course of Panacur to exclude the possibility it could be worms. After a week of this diet, probiotics and dewormer he finally had a healthy solid poo, however the morning after started again with loose stool and blood at the end. The vets just told us to keep going with the same treatment and to collect some samples for 3 days. I have to go to the vet to bring samples this afternoon but it's the 4th time in a row that he has runny stool with blood and I'm wondering if there's anything else we can do, like maybe changing the probiotics, but they just told me to keep using Prokolin as they cannot recommend different priobiotics.
Has anyone gone through the same thing? The vets on the phone mentioned it could be IBD.
