Title: Kitten food problem
Post by: Catcrazymum on April 10, 2009, 18:45:29 PM

My 4 month old kitten  Belle has had dioreah for around 6 weeks, she does it everywhere (on beds and sofas), I'm really worried as she's quite small and skinny, Ive taken her to the vets and they said not to worry but to perhaps change her food to adult, shes on morrisons kitten and whiskas kitten biscuits, my other cat Twinkle eats the same and is fine, could anyone suggest what food to swith her onto?, or anything else I can do?
Thanks xxx

They do indeed! http://www.petsathome.com/find/brand-is-royal_canin/product-is-10773
As long as you measure how much you need it is good value as well. Being a high quality food, you don't need to feed as much. Maybe the vet can recommend a probiotic- can't be very nice for the poor pud to have a dodgy tum all the time :(
Hope it helps :)

Hope the change in food helps....I have always changed the kittens food to adult at about 3 months!  ;)

I would take her to a second vet and then if she gets the all clear, improve her diet. Is she regularly wormed?
