As they are used to eating just rubbish dry i would swap to a good dry and then start on wet food, one thing at a time.

If you go to PAH they sell several better quality dry foods- royal canin, james wellbeloved, purina pro plan.
I found sensible RC food gave my lot diarrhoea so what works for one doesnt always another, get a small bag of one and try for at least a week as their stomachs will need time to adjust. Small portions too, overeating makes them loose!

You'll be able to get some recovery food from your vet or I think you can buy it from vet stores online.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #17 on:** November 28, 2008, 09:12:35 AM »

You could start them off on the RC Recovery food and then try the sensitive gradually adding other food

I would give them some wet to start with, as wet food is better than dry.

This is the one I mentioned in the PM Tinkers - problem is, it only comes in little 375gram bags. Paet at Home own one is a much better deal and comes in big bags. If you haven't got a shop nearby, you can order online. It is the one in the silver bags, not the value one. Royal Canin sensible 33 is the one I recommend for cats with dodgy tums - You can feed it to any cats - it has good ingredients. I would still feed some wet though.

I got some 'Enhanced Nutrition' food from Tesco, not too bad ingredients, and they did have another one, it was in a brownish bag, and it was on offer last week - probably something like 'luxury'. Can't think of anything else that I saw in Tesco, I dont normally look at dry food but needed a small bag of senior for Zi. PAH do some that is OK, you need their Premium, I think its called, at a push their 'Purely' food, but that isn't that great really

is it available at pets at home do u no?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #10 on:** November 27, 2008, 19:59:32 PM »

Do you shop online? As Tescos offering of dry foods isnt that great, Purina One would probably be the best they offer, Mark will know if theres anything better than that on their shelves...
This is how the cruddy brands win as the supermarkets are where most people buy their petfood

tinkers · « **Reply #9 on:** November 27, 2008, 19:55:38 PM »

Wet or dry from lidl? Some of their biscuits are dire, i took a very very hungry lactating stray from a stables and she was 'fed' that and even she didnt want to eat it!!

It depends what you wish to spend? as to what brands to try, would suggest you choose one brand and stick to that until all is ok

tinkers · « **Reply #7 on:** November 26, 2008, 19:44:53 PM »

hes on the same food as before i got him but its really cheap stuff frm lidl. wat food wud u recommend

Moving into a new home often causes upset stomachs. I would be careful about changing him to a new food - do you know what he was eating before you had him? - but a good quality food would probably be better. I would switch him over very carefully. After fasting for 24 hours I would re-introduce him to some bland food such as chicken, and then gradually add the new food, a little more each day. What are you feeding him now and do you feed wet or dry?

Millys Mum · « **Reply #5 on:** November 26, 2008, 19:18:59 PM »

I would feed chicken for a couple of days and then start to introduce one brand of food, what do you normally feed him?

Regular worming with a product from your vet is also important.

Diarrhoea is the way to spell it

i remember this with a little rhyme we had to make in our PS lesson when i was 13.

Darryl is a rug rat hanging off eight apples

funny how things like that stick in your head forever

It could be stress but I would keep an eye on him and if no improvement today take him for a vet check - has he been wormed?
