I feel like a broken record. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing me B**ch about my cats poop. He has finished his second treatment for Giardia. I'm not convinced he even has it anymore. I'm starting to think its a food issue. So I've taken some advice from fellow larians. I'm attempting to transition him to another food, specifically, Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Sensitive (overthecounter) wet food. One problem, its not grain free. He has eaten grain free since he could eat solids. I've been doing research online and noticed that sometimes peoples cats get diarrhea with grain free and it resolves with regular? Anyone have a problem with grain free diet? I'm fine with feeding him either, I just always assumed that grain free would be the last thing causing his poop problems. He also goes to poop after eating every meal. Almost like it runs right through him. But hes not lethargic or losing weight.
I have been mixing Royal Canin in with his Merrick Limited Ingredient wet food. He has tolerated it well. Poop is still VERY smelly. But I noticed that his poop is starting to become more solid and no blood for while? Its probably a 5 on the fecal scoring scale. If you're unfamiliar with that, this is it --> http://weliveinaflat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fecal-scoring.jpg
Just some past info- he has had pudding like stools to loose stools for MONTHS. Positive giardia and coccidia (treated). No weight loss. HUGE appetite. No belly pain that I notice (since I'm always grabbing his tummy to play with him).
Any advice at all, is welcome. Thanks again.
