Desperate for advice from some cat experts:

Please help me someone!

I have a kitten that we collected a few days before xmas. She's now 4.5 months. I had no idea you couldn't change foods and unfortunately I did when I brought her home.

She has basically had diarrhoea since that day.

I was given advice about 3 weeks later to starve her for 24 hrs then start on science plan but feed every half an hr little and often. This worked but I cannot do it indefinitely! As soon as I try to up it she goes back to runnier and runnier poo. I have tried plain boiled chicken, which again she has no diarrhoea on but same as above when I transitioned slowly back.

Science plan kibble makes her fart, gassy, and have mushy light brown poos. That's if its spread over 6 meals a day. Anymore and we are heading towards liquid poo.

She's on pro kolin, I've tried another pro biotic and she's so far cost me over £300 in vets bills about this issue.

I'm so, so worried about her. I have no idea what to do.

Yesterday I tried to transition her to grain free wet- disaster. She had liquid diarrhoea and her stomach was going crazy. Her poor bottom was leaking and she has obsessively groomed all day. She's calmer now as I haven't fed her since 2.30pm.

I'm at my wits end! Luckily my works quite flexible but this can't go on! It's taken over my life and the stress that I'm making her I'll is heart breaking.

She is not going continuously usually. It's just eat - have diarrhoea- eat - have diarrhoea.

The one thing I'll say about today is although the new food definitely disagreed with her, her poo was darker, more normal colour. She's been very yellowy brown on science plan kibble.

I have no idea where to go from here. I feel like a damaging her.

She is playful and seems happy enough ( apart from today with that crazy tummy)

She's itchy though which I think is just part of the intolerance.

I'm so heartbroken, please somebody help me make my beautiful kitten better.

Thank you

Try some diatomaceous earth, it's a powder made from algae.

I foster kittens and sprinkle it over boiled rice and white fish mixed together. I usually works

Someone else mentioned Giardia, has the vet tested her for this specifically?

demented sorry, I worded it wrong, you don't need to but at least you could if needs be whereas I believe cats shouldn't be starved?

My old cat has got like this and what works is a broad mixed diet so he doesn't have too much of anything, so he get a mix of some dry, some pouches and tins, and some raw (chicken wings, turkey thigh mince, random meat on offer).

Has the vet done any test at all or just trying to treat symptoms?

In either case I'd look into raw feeding. There's a very good group on facebook called cat crap or similar full of very good advice.

So sorry to hear you're having so much trouble, poor kitten! And poor you! It's heartbreaking when they are poorly isn't it?! As pp have said, please don't starve her, or isn't advised anymore.

Have the vets sent a faecal sample away to an external lab?

Raw food might be the answer to your problems. Nutriment do a really good cat one.
