Hi guys, I just made an account for this, but I've been lurking here a lot. I couldn't find a topic similar to this so I thought I'd just create one.
My 3 month old kitten has had soft stools since Wednesday. They kind of firmed up a bit on Thursday morning and she got her first vaccine on that day as well. However, the poop went soft again. It's not like watery diarrhea, it sort of has the consistency of mayonnaise. Yesterday evening she pooped out a HUGE load and it came out in soft turds, but they held their shape really well and I was so happy. This morning the poop was soft again. At least the first part was. It's like.... the first half of the poop is very soft and maybe a bit watery, but the other half is a nicely formed turd.
Should I be concerned? She plays a lot, eats a lot and is not dehydrated ( I did the gum and the neck scruff test) Although she doesn't like water, so I have to mix it with half a tsp of KMR so it has some sort of flavour. Also, we've given her some Pro-Kolin 3 times a day since Saturday.
She shouldn't have any worms, parasites or bacteria. When she was 2 months old, she spent almost a week at the hospital due to severe diarrhea and vomiting. She got on antibiotics, everything seemed fine, the vet ran some more blood tests, infection markers were up, she got on her second round of antibiotics plus we've given her dewormers like.. 5-7 times, I guess? The vet also did a poop test, no parasites were found.
I don't know what to do. She acts like herself, is very hyper and has no problems with eating, but she poops weird poop 3 times a day
I called the vet, they said to give Pro-Kolin for a few more days and see if the poop firms up... Has anyone's cat ever had this sort of... half-and-half poop? It shouldn't be normal, right? Thanks in advance.
