My kitten has diarrhea and constipation. What's a budget food?

Question

My 2 months old orphaned kitten, which I rescued when it was around 2 weeks old, is having occasional stool problems, diarrhea and constipation. Unfortunately, I do not feed him wet kitten food as much as ideal (due to financial issues and store availability) so I end up giving him a mixed diet, wet food of all types and kitten kibble. Despite all this, he eats more than my other kitten (which is twice his size) and is very energetic. What can I to minimize any risks in a cost effective way?

Bosbos is very cute! Switching brands of food such as wet food of all types can lead to the GI issues are seeing. You don't have to feed him wet food. I would still with giving him the kitten kibble only, that's just fine. I only feed my cats dry food. I have a cat water fountain which encourages them to drink water. See if feeding him only kitten kibble helps, and that will also be cost effective to you. Also make sure he's up to date on his deworming treatments. Best of luck.
