Super sensitive tummy
This is Sullivan! He is neutered, almost 18 months!
My intention when bringing him home was to feed high protein, high quality wet foods only with high protein nutrient dense treats and supplements to his meals. A few weeks after bringing him home we had an initial vomiting/diarrhea episode (he was eating instinct kitten, weruva kitten foods) that we immediately got checked out. His PCR test came back positive for having giardia but they weren’t live cells apparently. He was treated with cerenia, a dewormer I think panacur. He improved after that but a few months later we had another really severe bout of diarrhea and vomiting. We did another fecal test and it came back negative so we continued with bland foods. He is eating solely Royal Canin digestive which works really well I just hate that he has to eat that solely in order to have a normal stool. I gave him a ziwi peak lamb and mackerel can mixed in 50% of the royal canin and he dropped a bomb in the litter box that smells like it could melt the paint off the wall. He is getting a probiotic every day as well….any suggestions? Or do we just live a total Royal canin life now???? Ugh.
