How to feed a Persian kitten with diarrhea who hates dry food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 6 months and 4 days old

My 6month old persian has had diarrhoea since I got her two weeks ago, according to her breeder her line all have sensitive stomachs and her litter mate can only have dry food or he has diarrhoea. I kept her diet the same as at the breeder's and yesterday cut out the wet food (gourmet perle) which stopped the diarrhoea but she won't eat much dry food (Royal canin kitten stage 2) and meows for wet food all the time. What can I do to help her?

Congrats on your new kitten! I have a Persian as well, and they are lovely cats. Royal Canin has a brand of wet kitten food, and you can try that to see if doesn't give her diarrhea and satisfies her desire to have wet food. You can mix that wet food with her dry food to see if she eats the dry food better. I hope this helps!
