Diarrhea

[timber-]

Cheddar has diarrhea. I'm thinking it could be from the switch to soft food. Does anyone know what dosage a kitten would get of slippery elm? He's just under 1.5lbs. His bum is also red, any tips on helping him with this?

Absolutely agree - kittens are so vulnerable. Hope all goes well tomorrow timber-, will be thinking of little Cheddar.

Hope Cheddar is OK at the vets today Timber, thinking of him. He's such a brave little chap, you've done a great job with him, he looks fab.

How did the vet visit go?

The vet wasn't too concerned about it. He thinks it's from me overfeeding Cheddar and soft food being so rich. He recommended to change the soft food and start switching him to kibble (soaked in water).

Great news Timber. So glad Cheddr is OK. What a brave little chap he is. More pics, more pics!!!! He always looks to me like an intrepid adventurer on a mission.

I'm so pleased young Cheddar is OK Timber. It's really worrying when they are so young.He is such a lovely wee guy.
