My new kitten hasn't pooped in 2 days. Is her wet food the cause?

Question

We have had her now for 46 hrs but she hasn't pooped yet. She is eating wet food and formula but not crunchy. The lady we got her from had crunchy out for the kittens when we got her. What do I do about both situations? Help and Thank you in advance for your help. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 16 days old | 2 lbs

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sometimes changes in stool production can occur when the type or kind of food is changed. You may try introducing the food the original owner had her on to see if that helps. Otherwise, you can try a little plain canned pumpkin in her food (not the pie filing) for an added fiber boost that can help move things along. If that doesn't seem to help, I would have her seen by a veterinarian as there may be other issues such as a parasitic infection that may be a contributing cause. I hope this helps!
