    Kitten with Intermittent Diarrhea

    Spoke too soon :( She had diarrhea again this morning, and low appetite, sigh. I phoned the vet and waiting for a callback to see what we should do next... Maybe it is time to explore new food options - does anybody have any recommendation for a good brand to look into for kittens? I was...

    Kitten with Intermittent Diarrhea

    Thank you for the advice everyone! I took her to the vet, and vet says she looks good overall. We also ran a blood panel a couple of weeks ago and everything came back normal. Since her second bout of diarrhea only lasted less than 24 hours and resolved itself with no medication/bland diet, vet...

    Kitten with Intermittent Diarrhea

    Thanks all! Seeing the vet in two days as she's still BAR. I'll bring up the food allergy concerns + the pathogens listed on the zoologix website to see if the vets can run the same tests for me. She pooped again last night. It was more well formed, but still mushier than normal. Fingers...

    Kitten with Intermittent Diarrhea

    Thanks for the advice Verna! I'll look into S boulardii I was thinking that as well.. however the bland diet she was put on by the vet was also chicken and she did fine on that... does food allergy typically occur as intermittent? I was under the impression that as long as she's exposed to the...

    Experiencing severe kitty blues after getting two kittens, any advice would be appreciated!!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to type out a response. So more context - the first kitten who got diarrhea, I suspect she ate something off the ground. She managed to get into the kitchen even though I blocked it off with some pet gates. I left her for 5 minutes to go the bathroom and...

    Experiencing severe kitty blues after getting two kittens, any advice would be appreciated!!

    Btw, luckily tonight my sister was at my place so she helped me hold her up while I clean it up. Since I live alone currently, I'm also looking for tips on how to deal with this or if anyone has dealt with this on their own.

    Experiencing severe kitty blues after getting two kittens, any advice would be appreciated!!

    Hi Arr, Ah yes I forgot to mention that they are both around 5 months old (one is exactly 5 months old this week and the other is 18 weeks old). I'm also feeding them mostly wet food 4 times a day, but definitely looking to transition them to part kibbles and bigger meals at longer intervals as...

    Hi Furballsmom, thank you so much for the heartfelt reply 💕 it helps so much just writing it all out and having my feelings validated You are spot on with me probably resenting the cleaning, loss of sleep, etc. When they are just sleeping and cuddling eachother, or sitting on my chest and...
