Expert Answer

Diarrhea in a kitten under a month may come from gut bacteria, bad diet or chills, or parasites if the mother was not dewormed; get a fecal test and treat the cause. Its gut is immature, so feed only breast milk in 6-8 small meals daily. If diarrhea repeats, fast about a day then give probiotics; never cow’s milk, which causes lactose intolerance. Discard any leftover formula, as it spoils fast and causes diarrhea.
