I am abt a loss. I got my kitten at the end of August. He is currently 16 weeks. He has had diarrhea for 2 weeks now and is on Metronidazole and Fortiflora daily. I was feeding NV Instinct kitten dry and wet but went off it for a day in favor of Wellness Core canned. That firmed his stool up as of Tuesday. Since then my vet gave me Hills Kitten Chicken and Rice to mix with the Wellness Core and I decide where to go with my food. This has results in still liquid and some glops of semi-formed stool. He's not dehydrated or malnourished yet and is still gaining weight - slower than I would like but he is 4 months now.
Being a college student, I don't necessarily have the funds to be trying every food under the sun to see if they clear up, especially with the holidays approaching. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to try now? The Wellness Core + hills combo has been mixed to meet his roughly 300kcal-315kcal daily requirement. I've gotten into watching raw feeding videos but don't necessarily trust myself to NOT use a pre-made raw food. However, it would be cheaper to make it myself which would help a lot following my own hospital bills.
Has anyone switched to raw food and seen kitten diarrhea completely go away? Or is there any good canned + dry food mixes I can use that will clear this up without costing me an arm and a leg? His fecal was NPS, no signs of obstruction, and no abnormal behaviors.
