I finally started my elderly foster cat on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Fiber Response which she ate with her previous owner and seems to really like. I don't know what she was eating for the 2 months since her owner died and she was looked after by the family of the deceased, but she was brought to me with canned Friskies which she didn't really care much for.
I started her up on the (expensive!!!) fiber kibble because she wasn't eating enough, because she had eaten this before, and because she has persistent minor fecal incontinence (liquid). Her previous vet says it could definitely be caused by constipation which she had years ago. Her personality/livelihood is fine and she's drinking, using the litter box. She's only been eating this special kibble for 2 days now. No BMs in the last 24 hours.
I know senior digestion is slow, so I figure 1 to 2 weeks max before I consult her vet again. Thoughts?
