My Kitten's Passing Smelly Gas!!

Dear Dr. Baum --

My kitten is passing really smelly gas. Her food is the Nutro Max-Cat kitten dry food, plus a small amount of the little Max Kitten canned food.

She is very active, plays a lot and seems very healthy. Also her bowel movements are very smelly. Should I change her food to another brand? I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you. She is 4 months old.

You should have a parasite exam on her stool. If it is negative, gradually try another brand of kitten food and observe what changes, positive, negative or neutral, occur.
