Re: Help 6 month old kitten with diarrhea

Excellent - sorry for asking but in my experience you wouldn't beleive the amount of people that give roast chicken..thinking it's a good optional substitue.....lol

Feeding Chicken & Rice is a great way of bringing your kitten back to a very basic nutriional intake, (as it helps to rid the body from manufactured toxins which, like it or not are in every food 'stuffs' that they consume) however, you must also consider the fact that the chicken contains a disproportionate amount of water and, in the same way that if we drank 80% water then ate just 20% of solid our stools would also be very runny...

The advice from silverhorse is good advice in my opinion, as the dehydrated make up of dry foods will help (at least in some way) to absorb the excess water within your kittens digestive tract. Of course it goes without saying that with clean fresh water being avalble your kitten will be able to re-hydrate at a speed that suits them.

With your original post on the vets proceedures, these can knock our pets sideways and we should never under estimate our pets reaction to these in the same way that different people react in different ways to aliments.

What were you feeding your kitten prior to this and was everything ok then... sorry to go on but it helps to have all of the info :-)
