I have had my two kittens for the past 8 days. They are 8 weeks old. They did come to me with liquid diarrhea. After testing them for all parasites, the tests came up negative, twice, so my suspicion was transitioning to food. I had to go back to a bland diet of chicken/rice, broth mixed together and put in with Forti Flora once a day. I have been feeding them every 5 hours.
One kitten has done very well and her bowel movements now are firm, well shaped and good color. She's thriving, has gained weight and has a healthy appetite They both play hard together.
The second kitten is having the toughest time. When he eats, he starts panting, sticks out his tongue and cries, his eyes weep and his nose drips. This to me looks like a possible food allergy. After he has passed gas, he resumes to normal life. I'm guessing this may be a food allergy. I gave him 1/8th of a Pepcid AC tonight, as a last resort, that was mixed in water and put in a syringe. I'll be calling my vet tomorrow for more direction. I had asked for Hills ID, but she kept pushing Royal Canin Kitten which is now the offending food. I have tried pumpkin and baby food and nothing is working for him I feel so bad for him.
He also is sneezing alot after he eats and scratches all over himself even though he has no fleas.
I have Natures Variety, Instinct "Duck and Turkey Meal" in crunchies. I gave him a few tonight. I just don't know what else to feed him. I thought of a novel diet and tried Royal Canin Digest Sensitive and that made his diarrhea worse. I know Natures Variety is not a kitten food, but I feel I have to calm down his stomach first, get him back to eating before putting him back on kitten food as that is very rich and I'm thinking he may have a food allergy, poor little guy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
