Miss.Contessa's Trials...

[warmbear]

Prednisone has already been tried without effect. The vet did mention that Miss.Contessa is not the only kitten she has seen in the past couple of years to have this chronic problem, and they have not found anything definitive that works for the poor kitties (what works with one, does not work with another). Unfortunately, we have already tried everything that the vet can think of.

Sometimes they grow out of it, according to the vet, but no sign of that happening here.

I have noticed that Miss.Contessa is not vomiting as often as she used to, but she continues to have a single heave periodically.

This is why I am trying everything I can think of at this point. I have noticed that her stools are no longer foul (They were very foul for quite awhile, and when I stopped the last of the designer kitten food, I noticed that she was no longer emitting as much kitty gas, and her stools did not smell foul anymore.)

Miss.Contessa is a very active kitty, she eats well, and sleeps well. She seems to be a perfectly normal cat (a bit little perhaps) except for the water for stools. Her coat is shiny, and her eyes glow.. She has very good muscle tone as well.

Last night, my neighbor gave me a tube of nutritional booster paste for cats & kittens, and if this food works, I will try it as an additive.

I am sorry that nothing seems to be working for you, but if you are interested in trying a raw diet and making her food please PM if you have any questions.

(BTW, my old vet told me that all kittens have sticky stools and it does get better when they get older.)

Miss.Contessa's stools are not "sticky", they are pure water (puddles).

"Sticky" would be make me very happy at this point. I am noticing that she is becoming quite the little piggy about food now, and is right at me when her bowl is empty.. (I guess she likes the food).

There seemed to be some semi-formed stools in the "main" litterbox this morning when I cleaned it out.. (ones that did not just look like puddles).. I am going to continue this food, and keep watching the litterbox...

Hopefully the new food will do the trick! She must be very tired of having a sore bum. Poor girl.

How is this dear girl doing??

Have you tried her on a low residue diet? Like Hope Simone, who did not do well on any kind of fiber, but the low residue diet did the trick.Hills I/D, is what she ate.. Good luck...
