What to do about diarrhea

My 5 month old main coon kitten has has had diarrhea since I got him, I was advised by the breeder the change may ,upset his tummy, I fed him the food advised by the breeder. When it did not clear I discussed it with the vet who was not overly concerned and advised me to change food until I found the right one. He has now been on Science Plan for 4 weeks, including natural yogurt. Still no change. Any suggestions, I am thinking of going onto boiled chicken.

Yeah boiled Chicken I think will help - Have you tried, any other kitten foods like Whiskas or Felix?

Re: What to do about diarrhea

Maybe try some raw lean beef mince, and some good quality high meat content wet food.

I have found dry foods have upset my Alfie's tummy.. along with other cat foods with loads of crap in them!

i think all kitties are different, as bam dont drnk water, just milk, and his poop is fine, kiwi dont drink milk and only drinks water, and she is fine but when she has milk her poop goes a bit runny **ewwwwW*

Have tried felix and dried combined as directed by breeder, never given milk, could be eating some dog food but unlikely when my three dogs have food infront of them it doesnt last long.

definately.. Lola has a stomach of iron.. nothing phases her at all.. but had problems with Alfie for several months.. I'm finding the Raw diet is working best for him... with no dry food... trust the boy to be complicated lol
