Personally if he has the runs dried food is not what he wants as the runs will be making him dehydrated and dry food doesn't give him any water. It is porbably the stress of the move and new food that is upsetting his stomach. I would cook him some chicken breast and just give him that until his poos firm up. Then very slowly reintroduce a good quality food (whiskas only has 4% meat and the rest is fillers most of which aren't good for a cat) so something like Hi-life, Natures Menu the pets at home own brand i can't remember the name of, all of which are 50%+ meat content.

If you want to give him dry make sure it is a very good quality one, especially for boys, as they can be prone to crystals in their longer urethra. So no go-cat, or whiskas, or felix. Try James Welbeloved, or Orijen, or Aplaws dry (others can help you more on this as I don't really 'do' dry food) ALso make sure he always has fresh water - I have found a water fountain to be invaluable in making sure my cats drink. If you wanted you could also feed raw.

Hi
my vet precribes stronghold for my cat even as a kitten it does everything worms earmites fleas the lot. i am feeding hills science natures best and royal canin as the breeder of the new kitten from recomends these

viv xx

The Royal Canin would be fine, as would the little Applaws chicken ones, think Science plan are okay, Burns, the choice is yours, I chose Royal Canin as they are nice and little for them to chew on and my other cat likes them so they were the obvious choice.

One of my cats refuses them completely. Hungry or not.

We got Mickey at about the same age and he had very runny poo. We put him on James Wellbeloved kitten dry food as it is very bland. It took a few days but it slowly passed and then we gradually introduced wet food to his diet although he still prefers JW.

I would add that you should keep an eye on your kitten and make sure he is drinking enough, they can become dehydrated very quickly when they are babies which I am sure you are aware is fatal. If you are in any doubt or feel it is not getting any better then try and get him to the vet sooner.

I don't believe in feeding dry either, water is a good idea, but if the vet thinks your kitty is younger they may suggest a formular milk mix, as kitty may have been taken away from suckling too early, don't like the sound of whiskers either, start kitty off with a good diet you will see benefits in the future, mine is on raw, it was a bit of a hassle at the begining, but I've got the hang of it now.
whiskers meat is a low percentage, keep away from cerial based food.
Mine has a water fountain, mind you he still does milk the tap at times.
Make sure you have a list of questions to ask before you visit the vet.
Poor lil mite, good luck to you.

my kitten is on royal canin 36 biscuits and royal canin, felix, applaws pouches.

Are his poos smell really smelly as in making you gag smelly it may be worth seeing if he has TF. (Tritrichomonas foetus) I dont know much about it but i know a breeder that does.

it is treatable just a thought.
