First time hysterical kitten parent need some advice from knowledgeable cat-gurus.
My kitten has been growing up on Friskies Adult, and I mean to have him eat Pure Natural for kittens and high protein wet food instead. I think I might have overfed and/or changed my kitten's diet a little too abruptly. He had some diarrhea when he first came here a week ago, but I assume that was just stress. His stool was solid again up until a day or two days ago, and I suspect it's because I've been a little too enthusiastic about changing his diet as well as given him way, way too much. He's otherwise behaving normaly and is curious and playful.
I've been reading that I'm supposed to give him lean meat until his stool improves, preferably turkey and maybe rice or sweet potato. It's virtually impossible to find turkey this time of the year where I live (not US), so I was wondering if I could give him boiled ground chicken meat instead? He's tummy is getting a little rest right now, but I was thinking that I could give him maybe a spoon or two of boiled chicken every 2 or 3rd hour? Should I add some white rice? He always has access to water that gets changed several times a day.
A thousand thanks to any advice!
