Hi Everyone! First time posting.
I have have a pregnant Ragdoll, completely vetted and fecal shows parasite free including giardia free. Her stools have become very smelly as well as she has very stinky gas all the time. This started a few weeks ago and she is due in 2.5 weeks. The smell is unreal and never seems to let up. Her stools are sometimes formed and sometimes not and we have not changed her food. We changed nothing and did a fecal again just to ensure she is clear.
I am not sure if pregnancy can cause this, as I have never had that happen before, I have a small in home cattery. Her bloodwork was all normal before being bred and her health check clear. The smell is unbearable at times. She is eating a lot, wondering if maybe to much food could be causing a stomach upset? Her activity is normal, no signs of illness.
I did see some other threads that mentioned having a similar problem but my girls peoblems started during pregnancy. Also I do feed a high quality grain free food with Chicken and Turkey as base protein.
