Hi everyone
First I would like to apologize because I write in English, if you have an advice for us, please don't hesitate to respond in German.
Recently I started introducing our 2 cats to wet food. I want them on healthier diet and one of them needs to loose weight (currently he's at 6kg).
They were both fed with dry food until now. One is 3 years old, other is 7. The older one (that's the one who needs loosing weight) accepted food instantly. The other one was a bit reluctant at first, but is now ok with it. For a week I mixed new wet food with dry. After that I only mixed their breakfast, other 3 meals were only wet food. I give them 4 meals a day, because in other case they leave some of the food in a bowl.
After feeding only wet they both got diarrhea. The older cat especially seems to have problems to digest it. He meows a lot more and I suspect his tummy hurts. Both of cats stools are super soft, but not totally fluid.
I am mostly feeding them MjamMjam. They seem to like it most. We also ordered Granatapet, but are still waiting for the order to arrive.
I doubt this could be specific protein intolerance, since cats are not genetically related. They only ate cans containing turkey, chicken, duck or salmon. Those are all ingredients they previously already ate without side effects.
Cat with supposed tummy ache seems to get them mostly 2 hours after eating salmon + chicken.
This morning I feed them only dry as a precaution.
Is this a normal occurrence when transitioning to wet food, will soon get better and I should continue? (Of course eliminating salmon because tummy ache)
Did I transition too quickly and I'm making them harm?
Should I start again with dry and only a spoon or two of wet food?
If anyone has experience in diarrhea when changing to wet food we would be greatly grateful for your help 🙏 ☺
