I've posted a few times about the ongoing saga of our new cat that brought home coccidia and ended up infecting our resident cat. Both cats are now clear of coccidia and everything else (had a fecal PCR). The younger one, who originally had severe GI issues, is 100% fine. The older one, who was fine until we got the new one, still has some stomach issues.
She had a course of erythromycin, which definitely helped, but we're still dealing with some loose stool and really bad odor. The vet suspects that at this point she has some bowel inflammation from the coccidia and everything. We may try the ABs again or a steroid, but a big issue seems to be food. She used to get mostly Pro Plan dry food (Savor chicken and rice) with a bit of Friskies Turkey Dinner in Gravy every day, and did fine on that.
These days she can't tolerate the Friskies at all, but also needs a fair amount of wet food in her diet. She is also picky! So far it seems like chicken may be one of the foods that irritates her GI system, so we're avoiding that. Weruva Lamburger-ini worked best, but definitely wasn't perfect.
Any other suggestions for a wet food with no chicken that appeals to picky cats and is good for sensitive stomachs?
