Hi. Iโ€™ve had my rescue cat for 4 weeks now. Sheโ€™s lovely and has settled well - and eats very well - but has diarrhoea. It has been like this for a while, so I gave a stool
sample to the vet. It came back today and itโ€™s the all-clear ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Iโ€™m now going to try gradually introducing a different food. Sheโ€™s on Burgess dry food (around 20% protein), which Iโ€™ve just continued from the rescue centre.
I donโ€™t know if this is considered a decent food, but I feel I should find something that is gentler on her stomach. Possibly grain free? Iโ€™m no expert though, and look forward to hearing your recommendations.
Thank you.

James Wellbeloved do a variety of dry foods for different ailments. I haven't used a sensitive one, but DCat is on the light version as he is a bit porky. He really likes it.

We used Hill's sensitive stomach dry food for our sensitive boy and he enjoyed it and did really well on it.

Thanks all. My problem now is that sheโ€™s not just toileting in her litterbox(es). There was a poo on the kitchen floor earlier. I would understand if it was diarrhoea, but it was actually almost pickupable!
