I agree. Slowly weaning him off this and trying higher quality stuff to see what could be triggers.

I am following this as I have a kitten on that same formula.

I am currently dealing with this. He hasn't been diagnosed with IBD as my (new) vet wants to evaluate again after the 1 year mark. At first, RC GI High Energy helped - instead of running to the box within 5 minutes of eating and having accidents, he makes it to the box and stools have firmed up...

Wellness looks like a good brand. That’s one I want to try, but I don’t want to keep switching things up on him 😔

It’s been a few weeks, but it was the kitten savory salmon entree.

They are both just 7 months. They’d been on Chicken Soup kitten wet and dry in the shelter. I got them at just under 4 months and kept them on a mix of that and Science Diet wet. So they had the same dry and I mixed in the SD wet hoping it would help. Early December I transitioned Neptune to a...

Hi! I brought him in and decided to go to a new vet given our history with both kittens being sick frequently. The vet checked for feline leukemia (negative thankfully) and checked his eyes over. Lungs, heart, and all other physical stuff checked out good so the vet thought Haws. He’s eating and...

Hi again all, I’m continuing Neptune on the RC GI high energy and wet Merrick limited ingredient duck. I’ve added probiotics AND sweet potato. Stools have gone from thick liquid to soft serve ice cream - sorry if that’s gross. He’s still very gassy and smelly! How long do I continue on those...

Thank you! I try to search before just asking. I feel like I’ve had so many questions! I’ll do what you suggested.

Hi all, I’ve read conflicting advice about changing up protein sources. I have one kitten who can eat anything and one that I’m still struggling with. I’ve read that it’s beneficial to have kittens try multiple protein sources and textures, but with a sensitive belly, I’m feeling like I should...

I agree. Worth getting checked out in case it’s something else brewing.

Update- Had a good chat with the new vet. I shared a brief history. He examined Neptune and I was relieved to hear he didn’t notice anything off with his heart, lungs, lymph nodes, coat, mouth, everything. I nearly fainted when he suggested a recheck for FelV and I’m relieved to report it was...

That’s a good point about why he might have it but just not terribly. I’ve been adding lysine to their food now since Monday and I plan to keep going a few times a week regularly as other members do.

Thank you for your response. I asked about herpes, and was told they should be fine since they had the series of vaccinations. I’m wondering if they were exposed when they were strays and so young. Perhaps the vet saying they’d be fine was easier than explaining they couldn’t get an accurate...
