upset tummy

[madkittyrescue]

sometimes you may find that if you are feeding both  kitten wet andkitten dry food it can be too rich in proteins, etc and cause upset tummy.  You could try adult wet and kitten dry.

How are they on wet only?   When was their last worming?  have you tried keeping them on dry only and taking them off wet to see if its the wet that's the problem?

As said already... don't switch their food every couple of days... you have to give their ickle tummies time to adjust and an upset tummy isn't nice for them.  Make sure they are drinking plenty.  If its exceptionally bad them you may want to speak to your vet in case they have a wee tummy bug which can rear its wee ugly head on homing.


We have also found the Purina One kitten dry to be good for the young yins!

For dry, my boys were on James Wellbeloved kitten and then Pets at Home kitten complete dry - they were fine on both types. They're 10 months now so have graduated to the adult version of PAH with no problems either.

We had tummy problems when we first got out Bengal babies, try not to keep changing the food because it can take 10/14 days before a food "works"  mine are on Nutro kitten biscuits and Felix kitten meat (I did have them on Bozita but they decided they dont like it anymore) another thing that really helped was Lacto B which is a probiotic. Allso, make sure that you are not feeding too much at once - little and often is better than big meals at thier age.   Good luck and I hope they are better soon.

Hi Linda,

I tried purina, and that didn't go down too well. I'll try the james wellbeloved.

They are my babies  right now they are watching the flashing christmas lights across the road,   

  for the reply

I have found James Wellbeloved works well for the bengals    The other one that I use is Purina Proplan.

hello 

I was wondering if someone can help, I have 2 gorgeous 4month old rescue kittens, and they are so playful and eat well.

I have tried various kitten biscuits but they all have the same effect, an upset tummy. The only ones that didn't was active fit? i think

thats what it was called, but the supermarket discontinued them.

would iams be better? or could someone suggest another type, i would be very grateful.

the kitten food is felix and that is fine, although whiskers kitten does the same (upset tummy).

both are fit and healthy, as they have been for check ups.vaccinations etc.

thank you
