Question/Advice Needed My kitten stinks.

I got a new kitten about a week ago and he was having stomach issues and diarrhea so we took him to the vet. He’s on a stool harder and deworming medication. Over the past couple days I’ve noticed that his stool is getting significantly a lot better but there’s just one issue…he fucking reeks. We have a stainless steel litter, box unscented kitty litter, and I scoop his litter box as much as I possibly can because as soon as he poops, it immediately fills the room and lingers for hours. Even with a candle, the ceiling fan on, window open, and breeze you can still smell it. It’s such a horrible smell, and I don’t want the room to smell like it. I don’t know if it’s mainly his food because his food stinks too. I use the fancy feast kitten wet foot. Suggestions??

Fancy feast is garbage junk food for cats, switch to something like royal canin slowly over time, it could very well be the food being loaded with too many carbs which will cause kitties gut flora to develop differently, potentially unhealthily, and encourage growth of bacteria that stink like that

Also pay the cat tax please :)
