Hi all! I hope someone can tell me what's wrong with my cat before I take him to the vet.
My cat, Patches, has loose stools whenever he eats wet food. I switched from Merrick to Natural Balance limited diet thinking that he may have food allergies. He refused to eat the Natural Balance wet food for the first week and finally had hard, normal stool (he had loose stool when I was feeding him Merrick). He finally gave in and started eating it and his loose stool problem came back again. He's eating Orijen dry food.
When I first adopted him, he was treated for parasites (giardia i think?) but his stools were still loose. So because of him eating/not eating wet food, I think it's the wet food that's causing his loose stools.
Any ideas as to why this is happening?
