hi all! my boyfriend just adopted an adorable, 9-wk old brown tabby with neat orange spots. he named her sweetpea. anyway, the shelter told him to feed her dry food with a little water in it to soften it. in my experience with my two previous kittens, i free-fed dry and offered wet 3-4 times a day, which he is what he is doing. however, sweetpea has gas and soft stool because she isn't used to the wet yet. how long should we give it? he brought her home on tuesday. i ended up eliminating wet from my first kitten's diet because it just tore her up.
also, we'd like to let the kitten play with my 9-month old tabby, lola. sweetpea came from the shelter clean as a whistle and up to date on her shots and has tested neg. for FeLV, which i believe is luekemia. BUT i am wondering if i should wait to introduce the two of them. i am worried about FIP and other scarey cat diseases. i almost lost lola at 12 wks due to unexplained renal failure, so i am really overprotective...
advice, please! thanks...
