Hello there.
We took in our kitty Freyja when she was about 4 and a half weeks old, now she's 6 and a half or so. First few days she was fed a mixture of kitty milk, dry food (not exactly age appropriate) and wet food. She had solid poops, perfectly normal. Then she started suckling and therefore couldn't really eat anything but the wet food and milk, but we laid off the milk when she seemed like having diarrhea. The diarrhea went on for a few days, gradually increasing the daily poop count from 2-3 to 10. We took her to the vet at this point (she was dewormed a few days before) and were told to feed her milk replacement and slowly some dry food, and we did just that. Now she has really runny feces. First question is about this: does milk replacement make her poop super runny?
Next is: is it normal for a kitten to have some fresh red blood in her poop after she was fed a new dry food (now age appropriate, premium food for little kitties and mommy)?
Right now she poops 2-3 times a day, but it's liquid and whenever she eats dry food there's a little blood. Will this stop if she gets used to the dry food or should we consult our vet again?
Every answer is appreciated! Thanks!
