Diarrhea


Cheddar has diarrhea. I'm thinking it could be from the switch to soft food. Does anyone know what dosage a kitten would get of slippery elm? He's just under 1.5lbs. His bum is also red, any tips on helping him with this?

Re: Diarrhea


Absolutely agree - kittens are so vulnerable. Hope all goes well tomorrow timber-, will be thinking of little Cheddar.

Hope Cheddar is OK at the vets today Timber, thinking of him. He's such a brave little chap, you've done a great job with him, he looks fab.

Re: Diarrhea


The vet wasn't too concerned about it. He thinks it's from me overfeeding Cheddar and soft food being so rich. He recommended to change the soft food and start switching him to kibble (soaked in water).
