New kitten might have irritable bowel syndrome

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Maine Coon Cats : One Thread

My MC kitten is having loose stools every other day. One breeder said that it might be irritable bowel syndrome. I am concerned because when he has the loose stools it gets all over him and the house. I would appreciate any suggestions or help regarding this situation.

We have now found the problem with our kitten. He was allergic to all types of litter except unscented 100 percent clay litter. He was ingesting his litter. Hopefully, he will outgrow this habit.
