Picked up our new kitten last week. She is 10 weeks. Not litter trained. Got her the food we were told she is on, turned up and find put they've been given her adult food instead. She won't touch the kitten food. Same brand, same Felix just diff age but she won't touch it.
She makes her way to the tray just fine, but she can't clean herself. Her poo gets stuck in her hair, bum, and it stresses her out and us who have to try and clean her before she tracks all over the kitchen and house. With the change in her diet, she's got Diarrhea and it's awful. We're on poo watch, going to her every time she meows. This morning (5am) she pooped, dragged her dirty bum everywhere to get rid of the poo, regurgitated her food back up and then peed in the opposite corner.
Called the vets who advised to switch her to dry food straightaway.
I'm not quite sure what advice I'm asking for. I'm just drained at staying awake with her or waiting to hear for her meows. I feel like I've got a newborn baby overnight. Also v emotional on not much sleep.
Please be critical with me and advise if you think I'm doing something wrong.
DH thinks we should just go to sleep (have slept downstairs since we got her) but I'm panicking if she poos and we don't hear her and she tracks it everywhere and it gets stuck in her long hair.
