Soo…Muffin’s diarrhea? It’s frickin’ back. It’s been back for a while now once the antibiotics ended. And while it could be something she’s eating outside, I think it’s time now to switch cat food brands (especially since my dad went on an epic search for the Perfect Dog Food for Zoey that wasn’t $80).
The cats alternate between Fancy Feast and Friskies for wet food and get Fancy Feast for dry food. After reading about cheap brands on Guineapigcages.com (of all places)*, I thought that maybe diet was causing it (and hey, someone even mentioned that cheap food was causing their cat’s diarrhea).
*I don’t think it was a specific thread where I read this, but I remember reading all over the cafe forum that most cheap brands like Friskies, Meow Mix, 9 Lives have ingredients that cats can’t have, like grains (corn, wheat) and animal by-products (like most guinea pig pellets!). My dad even backed me up, saying that yup, people found that not feeding grains to their dogs caused them to itch less. It worked on Zoey.
(These better brands might be more expensive, but in between buying $40-50 cat food regularly and having to pay for $50-100 vet bills regularly because of diarrhea/other health problems, which would you rather do?)
I think it might’ve fallen out of my pants pocket while crossing a stream or something. This morning, my dad asked me if I wanted to look for it or use my old phone. I chose the second option, since it takes about 3 hours to reach the actual trail itself once you’re at the mountain road (and another 3 hours to reach the campsite Funkymonk and I were at when we reached the trail!
