Lola is 14 weeks old. Had had both sets of her vaccinations at 9 and 12 weeks which included advocate and worming tablets.
Lola's mum was Bengal of half Bengal and the Dad was unknown so just bare that in mind because I've done a lot of research and from what I've gathered, bengals suffer a lot with dietary problems?
So lola was weened by the breeder on Royal Canin kitten and Felix pouches. When we bought her home we switched her straight to whiskers dry/wet pouches. Saw the adverts on TV and was cheap. Our vet advised us at our 9 week check to take her off pouches and for to have a dry food diet only as that is better for her.
Lola's poo was like, thick hommous. It STANK and was a light tan/orangy/brown colour. Every time Lola pooped, we had to wipe her bum because it would stick to her anus , like cover it. Didn't think this was right. Googled it and found out whiskers is really crap for your cat!
Went to the pet shop the next day and told him about her poo. He advised Nutram. Oh my god, it was amazing. Proper dark brown, firm sausage like poos. Was a slight odour but didn't stink at all. However, after a few days on this her bum would bleed after a poo. No blood in the poo or wee but her anus would have blood all around it. Would wipe away and wouldn't continue to bleed. Called the vets straight away. They said as long as she keeps eating and acting normal she should be fine. And she was.
So this continued for a few days but it happened again the next day so we went to a different pet shop. They said there was too much protein in the Nutram and she was straining to much so it burst a blood vessel. Change her to a diet with less protein.
Changed her to Iams. No blood but back to SRINKY hommous poo.
Went back to original pet shop, suggested 'simple' she's been on it for 2 days now, not firmed up yet. STINKS. And tonight she bled again.
She is still fine . Loves her food still and acting normal but this is horrible. I've booked a vet appointment for her on Saturday. I'll try and get a poo and wee sample to take with me. But please help. I don't know what to do. I'm going to have a nervous brake down. I'm a first time cat owner and I love her so much. I don't want this to happen to her.
Please help
