Kitten eating too much, soft stool. Fiber, probiotics, or Fortiflora?

Question

my kitten eats too much. she has been to the vet who said it could be one of 3 things. she either eats too much, had irritable bowel or something more serious. when I pull her food for a day the next day she has a nicely formed stool. otherwise if I let her eat normal she has a mushy stool. I cannot adjust the food situation ( I have tried ) because of other animals in the house. should I use metamucil on her moist food or switch to a higher fiber food. current food fiber % is 6 %.

I would try feeding a probiotic before you start trying to add fiber (that can cause other issues). I suggest you get Fortiflora and put that on her food once daily for 30 days to see if it helps. If it does you can keep her on that indefinitely. ( https://www.1800petmeds.com/Purina+FortiFlora-prod10376.html?Ntt=fortiflora+cat ) Was a fecal test done to rule out parasites?
