Hello!
I've been reading a lot of threads on this forum, thank you so much for all your input - it is very helpful!
My question to you all is... what should healthy poop look like?
I brought home my two new kittens and they both had very loose stools - one was even streaked with a little bit of blood. The breeder had all the kittens tested for parasites (not TF) and the tests were negative. This seems to me like a combination of stress, and honestly, I think the food they were eating (Royal Canin - both wet and dry) was upsetting their tummies. I am slowly in the process of transitioning to Tiki Cat which is Grain free. I have noticed almost an immediate change in their stool. One was still slightly loose, but much firmer than before, and the other cats stool was darker than the medium brown it was before, and it was noticeably heavy and dense.
I add extra water to their wet food as per the breeders instructions, and I hear my cats drinking from their bowl throughout the day. They are both urinating a couple of times a day.
I think I am on the right track with changing their food, I am just wondering what kind of "end game" I should be looking for (if you know what i mean.
)
Thanks so much!
Angie
