Coliti-Bitty
Bitty has colitis.
She had a bit of blood in her poop so Friday she went to the vet. Now she's got some bland canned food that we sprinkle some powder on to balance the bacteria and whatnot in her digestive tract.
It is possible that she's developing an allergy to the food we feed them, so Dan and I decided to get some new food. Dan did lots of research and found out what makes a good kitty diet. So we picked up some expensive, but high on protein and zero grain, food which has lots of fish and fowl meal in it. It smells very fishy.
But the kitties aren't eating it. I think because it smells so different. Because it really does. So I'm hoping they like it because we got two bags - and it will be a lot healthier for them.
So, fingers crossed that they start liking the food, that the food helps Sammy smell less and that Bitty gets healthy soon.

Poor baby kitty! What kind did you decide on? I had been looking at Innova Evo Light for my two, although Wellness Complete Health is easier to get around here. I have a feeling switching won't be easy here either. Hope the baby feels better very soon, she has had way much to deal with, the sweetie. Love, Claudia
We looked at Innova Evo and Wellness CORE. And since the local PetCo sells CORE, we got that.
I actually now think they are eating it - well, I've seen them do it, so I know they are. I just think that since it is much more complete food, they eat a lot less so the bowl levels go down a lot slower.
A grain free diet for a carnivor is probably a good thing. Let me know how yours do on it and I will see about moving my two in that direction. Am also thinking about moving Kate and Cody that way too.
