Any advice?

SmokeyBear said:Good suggestion! Libby's makes a pure pumpkin filling in a can that helps for both constipation and loose stools. It works for both problems. A small dollup of it daily can work wonders.
But still, -- in an animal so young as the kitten in question in this thread -- it is best to rule out the possibilities of intestinal parasites (and food intolerances) first, IMO. Or, if it is simply because of a new diet, the loose stool problem may resolve by itself.
