I trust you guys for food advice!
I definitely don't trust Google because I feel like a lot of search results are sponsored by manufacturers.
I adopted an 8 month old little guy from humane society a little over a month ago. That's poor little guy has some issues. He has gingivitis which he has scheduled surgery for on the 29th. He also was (in my opinion) underweight. I even mentioned it at the time and they said it was normal. He's a picky eater and I have tried several different wet foods. I leave dry food out for my other 2 cats, which they like and have no issues with (Meow Mix). I know Meow Mix isn't a top-of-the-line expensive food, but my previous cat lived to 19 and that was the only food he would eat, so I trust it. (But I have Purina Pro Plan kitten on my next Chewy order just in case).
However- my new baby has been having diarrhea and I'm thinking it's due to the wet food I give him separately due to his gingivitis. He's already underweight (6 lbs) and doesn't seem to be gaining. He was 5.5lb in February when he got neutered. My question is this:
- What wet food do you give a picky kitten with gingivitis and possibly a sensitive stomach.
Everything I Google brings me to these high-end, expensive foods, which is fine, but the ratings are terrible saying they gave their cats diarrhea! The fact that he is picky, I am hesitant to spend $50 on a cat food that he won't even like.
He has a clean bill of health from my vet (once he got over his URI 😭) and up to date on shots also.
Any tips/advice welcome! My little guy needs to EAT!! P.S. other than issues mentioned, he acts like a perfectly normal, playful, cuddly baby doll ❤️
