Hi everybody,
I'm really worried about Pixel, again. Her stomach has been upset for the last three days. I had been feeding her Nutro kitten food, but she turned 1 in August so I wanted to switch her to adult food. I let her finish out the large bag of kitten food, and just a little over a week ago bought her a grown-up food. It's also Nutro brand, but it's a Lite food, because she has a little extra weight on her. I gradually added the adult food to her kitten food, phasing out the kitten food over 1 week's time. She was fine for that whole week, and she really enjoys the new food. However, Sunday was her first day of eating only the adult food without any of the kitten food mixed in. That night, she had diarrhea. Monday and Tuesday nights she also had diarrhea. Each time, she does it *right* before we go to bed, and each time she ends up with it all over her legs, so she has gotten a bath three nights in a row.
So, I'm wondering if this is normal for cats when they are adjusting to a new diet. Three times seems like too many to me. So if it is the food that is causing it, do you guys think that I should put her back on her old food, then gradually phase in a different adult food, or just switch her right away to a new adult food? I'm really not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
