Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 22 days old | 3.9 lbs
So Artemis was deemed fine. The vet suggested an xray but we have no money to do that until the insurance kicks in. So for now, the vet suggested monitoring her poops and, in case it was just diarrhea, feeding her a bland diet, he suggested baby food of meat. What exactly does bland mean with baby food then? I have no idea and want to make sure Artemis is ok. Do i still feed her the dry food along with wet food? She rarely touches wet food when she does eat normally. Should I give catmilk too?

A bland diet can be made by mixing plain white rice (cooked) with equal amounts of boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts. You can also use plain turkey or plain chicken baby food. Make sure there is no garlic or onion in the baby food. Feed in small, frequent amounts until the stool is normal then transition slowly back to the regular diet.
