Hello all! So my cat has a sensitive stomach and goes between having constipation or diarrhea, there's no in between. I've tried the hills science sensitive formula, Purina focus sensitive stomach, and a Rachel Ray's nutrish which I just learned is actually really bad for cats? I haven't done research on that one yet as I just heard it from a friend today. My point is we have yet to find something that works for her. We've tried grain free, chicken, lamb, fish, to rule out a sensitivity to grain and different meats, she's also had a lot of testing done and doesn't have any health issues ( other than her sensitive stomach). I'm completely at a loss and getting very frustrated as she often can't make it to the litter box to poo. I usually find her less than pleasant surprises just outside the litter box, or on the litter box wall, like she just barely got in it in time, or on my bed where she sleeps like she couldn't even hold it long enough to get off the bed. I'm looking for some suggestions for new foods to try with her. I'm a college student so I'm on a pretty tight budget which doesn't help me because I know a lot of foods people usually suggest are pretty pricey. I'm definitely willing to pay for something slightly higher end but I'm sorry, $50 for 8 pounds of the hills science was just way too much. Thank you all in advance!
PS. I just had a thought. I've heard that for some cats the grain free bothers their stomach. So far everything I've tried has been grain free or uses rice instead of corn. Should I try just a run of the mill food to see if grain actually helps her? I'm just worried about really messing with her stomach and making the problem worse.
