Hi all. Going to post a not so uncommon thread on IBS or stomach issues that cause diarrhea/soupy poo and ask for advice.
Inherited a 6month old Sphinx kitten after my mom passed.
She had awful ear mites and an infection in her ears. But otherwise healthy so I thought. Over time I noticed that she has had soupy poo and unformed poo piles. Then diarrhea. So I took her off the kitten chow she was on and switched to grain free, store bought Rachel Ray chicken. Thought that might help. It didn’t. So went up a notch to Instinct chicken. Still no change. Took her to the vet, and after almost 1,000 in bills. Still no improvement. So - I’ve now had her since June and she still has soupy poo.
I know it has to burn. I can hear her tummy gurgling. She has awful gas. And of course I stress her out because she gets her tail, feet in it and then needs wiped or bathed. Which she HATES with a passion.
I have a routine for antibiotics for her until out, pumpkin and a probiotic supplement from the doctor as well.
Does anyone have the same issue? My vet wrung his hands. He has no idea what else to do. And thinks she just has something wrong with her intestinal system. She IS growing well and is mostly happy and active.
I can use any help - things that might have worked for you? Or ideas of other things to try? I can’t imagine she will do well to continue this way for long. I also am a single mom with three kids, so I used a whole months rent on her already. I need to try some affordable options.
