Will only take him to the vets as needed. I am a little worried because he is
a bit thin and has the runny stools that he might have some type of deficiency.
He might need it this time just to see where he stands. He hasn't seen a vet
since he was fixed.
Not being able to take him to the vet makes it tough. Canned pumpkin (not pie
filling) has helped many kitties. So has slippery elm bark which can be found
in most health food stores or on line. Also giving a probiotic could help.
Since Kiwi won't eat canned food it might be hard to give
Diarrhea is a serious problem. It can result in death.
It can be from something as simple as parasites and as serious as intestinal
cancer. Can be from food allergies or IBD. More info here:

One of my fosters (FeLV negative) is an older cat who always had diarrhea

I switched my gang to Wellness wet--though it's a bit more than other foods,
I find that its nutritious enough that they don't eat quite as much of it.

to get away from fillers that would put on more weight. I tried the

Have not noticed flees or him scratching. He is kept inside and he gets some
topical treatment so he does not get fleas. One of my daughters does that.
It's a well known. Just can't think of the name. Thanks! Robin

Wellness is cat food.
Check out www.catinfo.org for info about canned wellness.
It's sold by Mother Hubbard ~ you can buy at retailers or order online.
I recommend chicken or turkey canned. Best to avoid fish and any with
grains.

It is Revolution that claims to kill roundworms and hookworms (and ear
mites, and protects against heartworms). Tapeworms you need a different
dewormer for.

Revolution also claims to kill fleas. It is not the best for ear mites since
they have a 3 week cycle and if you do repeat the Revolution, it's repeated
at 4 weeks. Here is an exchange I had with a vet regarding Revolution:

My primary concern is heartworms. I use strongid or panacur (both otc) for
