I am fostering a kitty that came into care with chronic diarrhea. She seemed ok for about a week or so, then things went downhill. She didn't have a worm issue. She has been to the vet, been on a drip, has been having B12 shots and has been on a prescription diet - you buy it in tins from the vet. She also took an antibiotic for 10 days called Metrogyl.
The kitty does well on this food. It is called Chicken and vegetable stew. All signs of diarrhea disappear when she eats it exclusively.
I managed to find the ingredients listed on the tiny peel back label printed in microscopic print. I typed it up to copy and paste here.
Ingredients: Chicken broth, Chicken, Pork liver, Carrots, Rice starch, Wheat gluten, Spinach, Ground Pecan shells, Rice, Chicken liver flavour, Flaxseed, Soy bean oil, Potassium Alginate, Whole grain barley, Dried citrus pulp, Fish oil, Dried Beef pulp, Calcium chloride, L-lysine, Natural flavour, Pumpkin, Pressed Cranberries, Powered cellulose, Guar gum, Dicalcium phosphate, Choline chloride, Oat fibre, Potassium citrate, Sodium tripolyphosphate, Fructooligosaccharide, Calcium lactate, Calcium gluconate, Vitamin E, Thiamine mononitrate, L-Ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), Niacin, Menodone Sodium bisulfite complex ( source of vitamin K), Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Calcium panthothenate, Vitamin B12, Riboflavin, Biotin, Folic acid, Vitamin D3, Taurine, Psyllium seed husks, Minerals ( zinc oxide, ferrous sulphate, manganese sulfate, copper sulphate, calcium iodate.
It wasn't easy to see.
There seems to be good and bad stuff in the food. Even when I try to replicate it with only good things it doesn't help her. Do you have any insights regarding this situation? Any useful tips? I don't really understand why this strange recipe is doing the trick. If it doesn't help indefinetly, cortisone comes next.
This girl will be in permanent care, not rehomable, with the shelter owner. The shelter is a no kill one. My usual fosters are tiny kittens.
Kitty is middle aged we think and she has been desexed at some stage.
(Wish I could edit title - please read "input")
