If they have trouble like diarrhea/vomit slow down and cut % even more, they could have a sensitive tummy.
My cat had the same problem when it was a kitten, the vet told me she had become dehydrated because of it and I had to put her on rice mixed with chicken pieces and/or pasta with chicken to help bind her up. She didn't like it much at first but it helped her get better. If you are putting her onto dried food you might be better off taking her to the vet first as if she is dehydrated it will probably make her worse...
