Sweet blessed Moses....
I don't know if it's because we changed Lola's food when she moved here Tuesday, or what the deal is, but this little girl has ripped a few healthy, paint peeling farts the last 24 hours. The girl can clear a room. Is there a secret to this? Change in diet? Or do we just keep a candle lit?
And what is it about animals that can just let these silent monsters go? I swear, my husband can't rip them this bad.
Re: Sweet blessed Moses....
We had this problem when we rescued Loki, we changed her diet and it went away. Right now we give them purina cat chow indoor formula and no problems. It also keeps their weight and hairballs down. And I've found they're very shiny with it too.
I asked my vet first though, and got a transition formula from her before hand so she didn't get sick.
Not sure if you are doing this or not but....you need to make sure that you are slowly transitioning her to her new food to let her body adjust to the changes. All you need to do is mix the foods together, start with just a little bit of the new food and gradually increase it until you are no longer adding the old food. Pets are sensitive to food changes and their body lets you know!
Our cat has a really sensitive stomach and we have discovered that she can't have any treats or wet food. So treats for her are individual pieces of kibble lol!
She's still young isn't she?
I know with the two brother kitteh's we adopted, the first few months were terrible! I mean, gas that smelled so painfully bad it would wake us up in the middle of the night!
Our friends have purchased a food additive from their vet to help with their kittens gas, but I thought they said isn't wasn't working as well as they hoped.
Tuna can make some pretty stinky farts, if I remember right, especially with younger cats, so I'd limit the volume of tuna. Iam's should be fine... it could just be her GI tract getting used to a new food, especially if there wasn't much time to transition it gradually from one diet to another (when she's ready to go onto adult food consider trying to do it over 7ish days, starting with just a little of the new food on the first day mixed in with her normal kibble, and increasing the percentage of the new food until by day 7 she's fully on the new diet).
If the vile, vile gas persists a call to her vet might be in order. I remember a friend's kitten having horrific gas, and liked to curl up on my chest/stomach and fart in my face, so I can totally empathize.
