Hello,
I've recently adopted two 4 month old kittens who were found in someone's backyard. The foundation I adopted them from recommended a very expensive, all meat, dry cat food called Orijen, and wet food as well.
They have terrible diarrhea and I don't know what to do! It must be the food. I tried Iams kitten and they ate A LOT more of it and had a lot more stool. So I figured that was bad. So I went back to the Orijen. I know it's bad to swtich like that, but I did do it gradually. A friend said Iams is not good, so I felt better going back to the Orijen. But the diarrhea!! The litter smell is overwhelming when I get home from work.
So some other foods that they recommend are Wellness, Evo, and Innova.
I stopped the wet food altogether because I thought that couldn't be good when they already had diarrhea.
Does anyone have experience with these foods? I really don't know what to do. I bought the expensive stuff. They eat very little and then get terrible diarrhea. Should I try some regular normal food like Kitten Chow? That goes against everything that I've read, but right now, I will try anything!!
Any advice would be appreciated, especially if you have experience with the high-end brands listed above.
Thanks!!
