So, fingers crossed, I think Allen may now be over his parasite caused diarhhea. Initially a different vet thought he could be allergic to his food, but a failed attempt to transition him over to Natural Balance duck and green pea left him with a massive reoccurence of loose stools. I put him back on his PurinaOne health kitten dry food, which he had been going back and forth between health stools and diarhhea, and now for just under two weeks we have had great poops every day
However, Allen does not cover his poops anymore in the litterbox. Right when I first got him, before he deteriorated into diarhhea, he covered just fine. But when the diarhhea started and was chronic for those 2-3 months, he neglected to cover, which I completely understand.
But now, even with healthy poops, he will not cover them. I will hear him digging in the litter, but he just digs down with his front paws, doesn't turn around to the hole, and then poops leaving it resting on top and makes no effort to spray some litter on it. Since he doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t bury or at least cover, sometimes he ends up stepping in his poop and tracking it around the apartment, especially on my bed. Now that drive me NUTS.
But, this isn't really THAT big of a deal for me, though, when I think about it. I clean his litterbox once a day, sometimes twice a day, and I'll just cover it myself sometimes. I'm just so glad he seems to finally be healthy.
But, if anyone's got any ideas about how to get a cat to start covering or burying, I'd be all ears!
