Hi folks,
Our new kitty Angel (10.5 yrs old, chubby 11-12 lbs) is having food issues. This is day 6 with us. She was eating 1/4 can Friskies classic pate (Humane Society didn't know which flavor) in A.M. and 1/4 can in P.M. She was eating 1/2 cup costco generic for all day. We don't belong to costco so we got her Iams senior dry.
So we were feeding her same -1/4 can 2x daily of Friskies classic pate poultry platter and 1/2 cup Iams dry all day. She wolfs down the wet, but is not crazy about the dry. So yesterday we increased the wet to 3/4 can for all day and 1/4 cup dry for all day.
Her stool is very loose, pancake batter. She has had 3 well formed - 3 batter. Today pancake batter again. 1 bowel movement/day so far.
Her energy level is increasing as she is more active by the day and she seems happy (purring a lot, accepts grooming, she is grooming herself more daily, sleeps in our bed on heating pad 7+ hours until we get up). Not positive how much water she is drinking. She urinates maybe 2-3x/day.
Any advice? We have read conflicting info. on wet vs. dry causing loose stool. We are not sure what we should do and we are starting to worry. The humane society we adopted her from says take her to the vet if this persists. Thx in advance.
