Hi, I recently got 2 kittens from same litter, one is male manx without tail & 2nd is female with tail. The female is doing great, growing, playing & gaining weight. They are approx 13 wks old now, I'd gotten them at 11wks. My male cat is having bowel incontinence issues. He makes it usually to litter box but has dribbles on backside. He eats reasonably well but has had weight loss from 3.1lbs to 2.9 lbs in 2wks. I'm feeding them Iams dry kitten food. My female has no problems GI related. Both have had dewormer, feline leukemia neg. On Pete's 2nd trip to vet for large amt of diarrhea, stool sample collected & another anti-parasitic given. He has no observable problems with ambulation/jumping. I'm concerned that he isn't gaining wt, diarrhea. Have read some about Manx synd. Any suggestions?

this is about nutrition....very good info. this vet really promotes homemade meals but she also lists the best 'commercial foods' on the market by clicking on a link to the right of her article.....your best bet is 'grain free' and cans rather than dry for a healthier kitty. good luck and post again if we can help..
