So i decided to switch my kittens food from the breeder's brand (ekuanuba and authority canned) to wellness dry and canned.
he gobbles up both the wellness canned and dry.....
but after the switch he started getting loose stools.
since kittens sometimes get loose stools when they switch homes she gave me some medicine from her vet to help settle his tummy.
i did not use the meds because his stool was fine when i was still feeding him eukanuba and authority canned.
after i made the switch and saw he had tummy problems i started the meds again......
but he still has semi loose stools (some will be firm, and some watery in the same bowl movement)
he is showing no signs or symptoms of discomfort, he plays like a maniac, but he does go into a random corner when he is playing, and starts meowing, this usually means he needs to use the bathroom....
im confident he knows the way to the bathroom, but i still pick him up and bring him there to avoid any accidents...
SO... my questions are
should i stop bringing him towards the litter box when he does this? (i dont want him to think im gonna do it every time)
and should i switch him back to eukanuba, and gradually mix in the wellness?
(its been about 3 days on the wellness and hes still got loose stools)
thanks for the replys!
