I have a 8 month old Siberian Kitten who out of no where developed diarrhea over a month ago. She was eating Purina Kitten Chow and Fancy Feast. She is a very picky eater and this is all she would eat since I got her when she was 2 months old. (Please don't food shame me for giving her this she no longer eats it)
Her issues started when the first half of her stool would be solid and normal, the second part would come out soft. She was on a great schedule, would poop in the morning and again at night. ***This whole time, diarrhea has been the ONLY issue. She is perfectly healthy otherwise, she doesn't throw up, she eat and drinks normally, plays, super energetic and lovey, ONLY issue is diarrhea.
Then the diarrhea started getting worse, so took her to the vet. They said could be food allergies, hairball or IBD. So they gave her metronidazole for 10 days, and probiotics for her food. She wouldn't touch the probitotic, and the metronidazole did absolutely nothing. She at this point went from pooping 2 times a day, to 5-6 times a day.
Took her back to the vet a week later, she was monitored for 12 hours, they did multiple fecal tests, blood work, xrays and gave her fluids. After this visit, switched her food to Hills Prescription Diet Z/D for food sensitivity, intolerance and allergies. Every test came back negative, and all her blood work and everything else was completely normal.
The diarrhea continued, still no change 5-6 times a day just straight liquid. So we decided to send the fecal sample to an outside lab to do more extensive testing. Tested for T-Feotus, Giardia, and checked her culture & pathogen levels. Everything came back negative/normal.
Put her on Panacur, just to see, and she got better. Was on Panacur for 5 days, her stool started to harden and she was going less. The first day off of Panacur it came back, she was going more and more and it was back to liquid.
Fasted her for 24 hrs, then slowly fed her the Z/D, 1/4 cup with 1/4tsp of Benefiber in it. And started her on another round of Panacur. She didn't poop for over 24 hours, and when she did it was semi solid, and much better. I was so excited, then the next one was liquid. Stayed on the second round of Panacur, 5 days, no improvement except that she was only going 2 times a day.
She has been off the Panacur for 3 days now, and she is going 3-4 times a day and still liquid. I ordered her Tomlyn Pre & Probitoic Water Soluble Powder Supplement, should be here today and will try that. Any other suggestions?? I have tried everything and have spend over $1,300 and she isn't better. Please someone help, I have been crying for weeks at this point. It is breaking my heart.

, but if you want to go with freeze dried raw, Primal makes both rabbit and venison. But it really should be rehydrated. My cats eat Primal, and they love it in it's dehydrated form. Once I rehydrate it, then they get picky about it, the goofballs. So I have to put toppers on it to get them to eat it. You might have to do the same thing.
