diarrhea in kittens/cats

6/21/2015

We get a lot of calls about diarrhea in kittens and cats, mostly kittens. Having loose stools is not abnormal for a kitten, but it does need to be cared for. Before you flip out and start pumping antibiotics into their little systems, see if it is a digestive issue. Feed them canned pumpkin, (yes pumpkin kittens usually like it) you can also use flavorless fiber powder. Kittens usually like plain yogurt too, yogurt has the advantage of putting back the proper biotics into their digestive system.

it's also usually a sign they don't tolerate the grain wheat and/or corn, putting them on no grain food will work wonders

I agree, some cats are intolerant of wheat and especially corn. A food with rice is usually ok, it's what is in sensitive system formulas.

Folks, I have several feral cats in my neighborhood I would like to arrange for catch and release. I will cover spade and neuter charges. I live in the city limits and would like to know how I go about doing this, we have already been successful with 3 they befriend us by coming to front porch to eat, one lets us pet him. But we have one we feed and would like to make him our.
