Hey All
First time kitten owner, she's super cute. I'm very glad to get her cause she really makes my parents happy!
Question though, we got her from a pet store and we purchase a Purina Kitten blend kitten chow for her. I think that was a poor choice and ppl at other pet stores tell me its a horrible brand of pet food for her.
She was on it for about 7 days before I got her the brand she was eating at the pet store (Nutrience Kitten food), but my problem now is that I think her diarrhea is pretty bad. So much so that her back side is swollen and she leaks stool. I think the poor thing has such a sore bottom at this point, she's not able to contract her backside. Aside from the messy stool, everything else is fine, she has awesome energy levels for a kitten
Any tips? I have a vet scheduled for her tmrw, and I've changed cat food for her. But anything else I can do to make sure she's going to get better and retain proper litter box habits?
I feel absolutely terrible, the guy at the pet store said she'd have diarrhea for a day or two but I didn't think it'd be this long.
