I am well aware that wet food is WAY better for a cat, and that there is no relation at all between water content in food and watery stool.
Still, Merlin has runny stools or full diarrhea every time we try to add canned food.
To solve his diarrhea problem (which started 7 months ago), we did two months of anallergenic (kibbles only) diet, and it worked like a charm. Then, following the advice of our vet gastroenterologist, we slowly introduced another kibble (monoproteic, a new protein), and it was fine.
When we try VERY SLOWLY to add canned food (same protein, and at first same brand), runny stools start, and then we usually have to re-introduce anallergenic food to solve the problem.
It's been three times. We also tried to change brand, same protein, to try. Same result.
The correlation is too strong to be a coincidence.
I don't know what to do. Today, same story: he ate maybe 1/5 of a small can of lamb wet food 4 days ago, and it's watery diarrhea.
