Hello! I don't know wheter to put this on health or here, but found out it'd be more fitting here
So my rescue kitten was hving bad diarrhea like the first week of having her, but she has recovered with bland diet and I change her diet to raw slowly (over 1 week). She has been living with me for a month now and is very healthy and active and growing quickly when I first rescued her she was like only 480 gr and now she's 1.4 kg HHHH
anyway back to the topic, I know feeding raw means less poo, and I see it, but at one point she got constipated, so I decided to reduce the bone percentage. I also give her daily probiotics to make sure she has good gut health.
But the problem is, she seemed she doesn't like to poo? Doesn't like is maybe exaggerating it, but she never put much effort to get those poo out, and she gety easily distracted (like if she sees a mosquito, or hear something interesting) so if she gets distracted, she won't continue to poo. She also does this thing of digging the litter, get into a position, but immediately dig another spot, and get into a position, and dig another spot again, like sbe can dig around 5-6 spot until she finds the right place to poo, and if she gets distracted, well, she won't poo. I don't think this is constipation cause she has been doing this behavior ever since I got her, and her poo is actually in a very good shape and moisture, not too hard nor too soft now.
Sometimes I bave to force her to go to toilet to make sure she poo that day, by forcing her I mean I shake the litter box or fake clean it, since she liked to pee and poo when I cleaned her litter box.I also cleaned the litter box everyday, sometimes twice a day.
I'm at lost rn I really have no idea what to do hhhh. Iy afraid she'll go constipation again if she holds those poo, since it can take moisture from the poo
