The supplement powder I add to their food has egg yolk in it. I'd be hesitant to give them more of it since it's already added to their diet. I think they are probably hangry for sure. I'm hoping that your idea of feeding them more helps out with that! Since they are so young, they may still...

Right now they are yelling at me for food, and sprinting into the kitchen every time I get up. I don't normally feed them for another 2 hours. Lord beer me strength.

Well I bought them a treat ball, and while that does distract them a bit while I'm preparing their food, they're still pretty noisy about wanting food. They lose interest in it pretty quickly unfortunately, so it only works sometimes. I also started feeding them more, but no change seen so...

Hmm, yeah it's worth a shot!

Yeah! I'm actually feeding them that right now for the first time. Their favorite is turkey though. I didn't have freeze dried rabbit bites I've always used for treats though. Sometimes dotting their food with them when they're sick will convince them to eat it all!

That's actually a good point. I have two treats, one is freeze dried sardines (gross, I know) and the other is freeze dried rabbit bites. The rabbit bites are pretty kibble like!

I definitely do wonder if breed is part of it. They are both colorpoint shorthairs and he is the more Siamese of the two. He looks like it in the face and has the same "accent" as a Siamese. He's also more prone to cute little noises, like when he jumps or you pet him. I am kind of worried that...

Hi! They are a little over a year old. We feed them raw food, which is a base of a bone/meat/organ grind and a supplement that has added egg yolk and stuff like taurine in it. They may be hungry, but it's hard to tell. I've been watching their weight closely to know how much raw food to feed...

I use Alnutrin from Hare today, and all the grinds I buy for them include organs and bones. The only exception is chicken necks, which are a treat meal. There's no dry food in the house, and they have set meal times every day.

Hey guys! We adopted a cat a few months ago. He was mildly sick for the first couple of months we had him (ear infection, eye infection, worms, then bacterial infection in gut). We trained him and his brother both to be quiet when waiting for food (using this method). They'd both be quiet while...

No, they didn't give us any fluids, but I actually just took a fecal sample in, not the actual cat, since this is a known issue.

Went to the vet today and got some anti-biotics. Poor little guy is just having a rough time of it!

No change really that I've noticed today. He's only pooped once so far today, but it was still pretty loose and green. Not completely liquid, but definitely looser than it should be.

My vet is more of a holistic vet, so I don't think they'd try antibiotics unless natural methods didn't work. So wasn't my request, but I do tend to agree with them. He definitely has some bacterial stuff going on, no question there. I'm more worried about the immediate danger of the diarrhea...

Hey guys! One of my cats has been having loose stools + green poop, and I took a poo sample to the vet and he has a bacterial infection. They gave me Pro-pectalin (anti-diarrheal), probiotics and some immune support supplements, although they said it might take a while to get rid of this...
