My kitten has formed but soft stools with blood, normal diet and good spirits; this started after a food change. It had digestive issues before and took probiotics, and recently keeps scratching itself — is it parasites or just a gut problem?
Based on your description, soft stools with blood after a food change in a kitten, combined with its history, mainly suggest food intolerance, but internal parasite infection cannot be ruled out. Stop the new food, return to the old, and give probiotics; see a vet if bleeding persists or spirits drop.
Kitten found Oct 11; normal stools for half a month with manual/self stimulation, but after a formula change, no stool for 4-5 days, probiotics didn’t help, only urinates often. What should I do?
If constipation started after the formula change, the gut may not digest it or it has antidiarrheal agents. See a vet to clear blockage; then return to the old formula or another to avoid recurrence.
A three-month-old kitten had bloody stool when switching food; besides probiotics, does it need anti-inflammatory medicine or something like Mommy’s Love (Bacillus)?
Blood in stool after a food switch may be from an abrupt change or allergy. If stools are formed with little blood, observe and give probiotics; if it persists or blood increases, see a vet.
My four-month-old kitten threw up yellow-green foamy fluid all day yesterday, has been lethargic and refusing food/water all day, with bad breath; before that it may have drunk spoiled milk (not sure) – is it just an upset stomach? I gave a little probiotics and omeprazole; should I go to the hospital?
Yellow-green foamy vomit may come from spoiled food, parasites, prolonged fasting, infectious disease, pancreatitis, hepatitis, or kidney damage. If vomiting is not frequent, withhold food and give glucose water and probiotics; spoiled milk may cause gastroenteritis, so pet anti-inflammatory helps, then feed soaked kibble in small amounts once it stops. If vomiting is frequent or with fever, arched back, pain, or lethargy, see a vet for the cause.
My foundling orange kitten had normal stool first day on kibble, then diarrhea; only fed kibble and lactose-free milk, gave smecta and probiotics, improved, then relapsed after stopping smecta; no fever/vomit, eats/sleeps well but diarrhea; today a bit of blood.
Give pet probiotics for diarrhea; avoid dairy (even lactose-free). If no improvement plus blood, likely parasite-induced enteritis—get a fecal test first to identify the parasite, then choose dewormer (giardia/coccidia need specific drugs, common dewormers don't work; both cause persistent bloody diarrhea; also roundworm/tapeworm). Severe bleeding: oral anti-inflammatory. If blood/diarrhea with low appetite/fever/lethargy, check for panleukopenia.
