I found a stray kitten about a month old; after meals it passes brown soft stools, is energetic and eats well.

Expert Answer

Brown soft stools in a young cat may signal enteritis, with causes including bacterial enteritis, stress enteritis, parasites, or viral infection. The cat’s good spirits don’t fully rule out a virus that hasn’t fully broken out. We suggest a vet exam—CBC, biochemistry, fecal test, and virus screening—to find the cause and treat it.

If a vet visit isn’t convenient, try amoxicillin, bismuth subcarbonate tablets, and pet probiotics for two days.
