I take it you mean Royal Canin Babycat? What symptoms does she have?

Cat's being obligate carnivores need animal protein to survive.

yes sorry royal canin babycat 36

just the runny poo thats it , when she came she was fine at first poos slightly soft then they changed in a day to watery poo , was on the same food as the breeder fed but i did feed her sheba meat , then changed her meat to the raw what she was use to same poo was watery then stopped meat altogether and poo started to be really soft but not watery so then she was put on por-kolin twice a day and poo getting better , so was a waiting game then like i said idiot me gave her one small piece of boiled chicken and i mean small .... then bang watery poo all day today this when the vet said it could be poss this is the problem however when she was feed raw meat she had beef , lamb and cooked fish and still got the runs , hence why we do not know what meat it is vet states she is too young for the test so she is on the pro-kolin and just babycat now to see how she goes she is fine in herself runs around plays no temperature etc bright eyed etc so just the poo her skin does not itch or anything like that so was just wondering what foods she could have thats all and advice she is going back to the vets tomorrow so will have an update then

Re: what other brands of food can you feed.....

If it is a food intolerance; I don't know the ingredients in Babycat but I would advise switching to a food that contains one protein source and one carbohydrate source, both of which need to be different to what's in Babycat. Stick with it and just that, no supplements, no medicines and see how she gets on over a week or two.

Swapping and changing won't help things, especially with her being a baby in a new environment.

It could just be the stress of the move and then swapping and changing foods has increased the problem. It pees me off that vets will just stick a needle in and give anti-sickness and anitbiotic jabs without a second thought when it's more than likely not necessary. I'm inclined to say it's probably not a food intolerance at all based on what you've described.
