I know it's okay to rotate canned foods with adult cats but...
Is it okay to rotate canned food brands/flavors for a young kitten (approximately 6 weeks)? Or should he stay on one type until he's a little older? I don't want him to become picky at such a young age...
History: I found him last week in my friend's neighborhood while we were TNR'ing the feral cats there. Vet said he could start eating canned food. I have been feeding him Merrick Southern Delight mixed with water and he loves it. I also bought Wellness kitten but I don't want to upset his tummy by switching it up on him. I am also worried about the catfish and crawfish in this particular Merrick flavor. He's currently being treated with Metranidazole for diarrhea with no known cause. He's been dewormed and fecal came back negative for worms, coccidia and giardia. I'm guessing it's the change in diet from momma's milk to canned food that is causing this...any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!!!
