So I wanted to come back to say I have noticed a HUGE difference in my ragdoll kitten's stools as of late. I had found this thread about 2 months ago after feeling lost as to what his poo issues could be (his stools were looking A LOT like the ones in the op, except maybe less blood). Anyway, I ended up cutting chicken out of his wet food meals (he only gets chicken now as a lickable churu treat every few days, and that's sprinkled between the tuna and salmon ones he has). I also started giving him this, mixed into his wet meals once a day: Nutramax Proviable Probiotics for Dogs & Cats https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O3UE9E?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 And his stools are shaped, firmer, and way less smelly now! No blood either. It's consistently been like this for about a month now. I have been shocked because I was at my wit's end, lol. Now I will say, I'm not sure if it's cutting out the chicken that did it OR the Proviable that did. Or maybe a combination of both. I might try to work chicken back into his diet at a later date and see how that goes, and then I feel like I'll have an answer either way if it's some kind of sensitivity to chicken thing OR if it's the Proviable that's helping his digestion/stools. Either way, wanted to come back and share in case there's someone else like me googling about this issue for their ragdoll kitten. Mine will be 10 months at the end of this month, by the way.
We sprinkle a probiotic on our boy’s food and mix about 1/3 Iams Hairball dry food in with his other dry food. He only got one hairball in a year and a half since I got him which is insane considering all his floof! Eta: meant to reply to another comment about hairballs lol
