I would give him his Panacur dose as normal, when it is due, as it's to treat him for possible worms.

With the bland diet use chicken drumsticks as they are more flavoursome and contain more taurine than breast. You can cook it on the hob in water or cook it in the oven in a roasting tin with about 2.5 cms of water added to make the stock. Cover with baking foil and cook on top shelf of oven gas mark 5 for one hour.

When cooked save the juices by draining them into a pyrex bowl or jug, cool and put in fridge and leave overnight. The fat will rise to the top and you can skim if off leaving the lovely nutritious jelly underneath to give him with his meals.

To serve take the chicken off the bone, chop finely including the skin and serve with a couple of tablespoons of the warmed up jelly. Feed about 5 small meals a day. I usually give about one and a half tablespoons per meal so they don't over eat. But if he seems very hungry on that then give him a little more.

Which brand of food are you giving him?

Once he has passed a normal formed poo on the bland diet then you should start transferring him slowly back to a cat food diet, increasing the amount every day and decreasing the chicken.

I hope he is better soon.

Why skim the fat? Chicken fat is very good for cats and kittens. Or are you thinking the fat wil be too much because of the loose stool? If that's what you mean, then I would suggestst saving the fat and mixing it back in after kitten is better. The bone broth can be froze in ice cub trays to be used as a nice treat whenever, or if kitten is having a poorly day.

In addition to chillminx's excellent advice @KMillie I would suggest you eliminate the dry kibble completely. Once kitten is stabilized on the chicken, start introducing better quality wet foods, and no fish! A probiotic can also help.

 

@lorilu - yes, you're right - I save the skimmed fat to add to the other cats food, or for when the poorly cat is better. I've found it's better to keep them to a low fat diet when their stools are loose.

 

Thanks.

Just done his first meal of chicken and little fella has just about ripped my leg off trying to get to the bowl while I was preparing it. (really must give him his first nailtim!).I gave him half a chicken breast, as I only had breast in, and he has gobbled most of it down and has now gone for a power nap.

Off to the supermarket to stock up on drumsticks now.

That's great! Did he like the broth too? Remember he needs lots and lots of liquid to counteract dehydration.

Considering his reaction, be sure to dispose of the bones somewhere he cannot get to them. In an outside bin, preferably.
