Just wanted to know if anyone has noticed their cat's stool has become extremely light (tan) after the KOHA Limited Ingredient formula change?
My cat Graysan has seasonal, flea and suspected food allergies. He has been on Koha Turkey, Duck, and Venison for almost 2 years and has been doing well on it. After the recent formula change they discontinued the Venison so we started him on their Rabbit. He started refusing the turkey and is iffy about the Duck. I started noticing very light colored dry stools in the box back in Feb not long after the food change. I reported it to KOHA. They were dismissive about it and said others said their cat's stools went darker. Because the color was light one day and dark the next I assume it is the food.
Except for the extremely light stools that are often mixed with brown and brownish-gray he acts completely normal. Playful, eating very well (he just had a final full mouth extraction in Feb for stomatitis and is doing great), not vomiting, no diarrhea,... Just pale, very dry stools. But it is starting to bother me.
I have an appointment on Friday with the Vet but the tech I spoke to said, "Try to change the food to a different brand for a few days and see if it goes a consistent brown and that may solve the issue. If not we have him set..." I will try to see if he will eat Hounds and Gatos or Rawz. But we have to be careful switching foods with him because we don't know what will trigger him.
But I was curious if anyone else feeding KOHA (especially the Limited Ingredient Diets) noticed a major stool change.... Would that not indicate something may be imbalanced in the food??? Just curious.....
