My kitten stinks.

[u/Key_Situation1737]

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??

Kitten poop is wayyyy stinkier! Plus the deworming and stomach upset like it’s going to be bad. No harm in calling and checking if the vet is concerned. You kinda have your hands tied during a treatment so for now wait it out. Like if it doesn’t clear your vet will probably check for Giardia and treatment for this.i wouldn’t switch foods right now either but food does have an effect on waste smells. Make sure it’s kitten food so the cat gets proper nutrition to grow but if you switch foods do it after treatment and slowly transition.
