Treatment depends on the cause - parasites, viruses, bacteria, or toxins. Use antioxidants for oxidative damage or targeted drugs for protozoa.

My one-month-old kitten had normal stool, then soft stool, and now diarrhea with blood – what should I do?

I don’t want hospital treatment — what medicine can cure it?
Hello, from the test report you uploaded, the cat is positive for Chlamydia, meaning it has a Chlamydia infection. Treatment for feline Chlamydia includes antibiotic therapy, immune-support therapy, and symptomatic treatment. You can give the cat oral or injectable antibiotics such as amoxicillin clavulanate tablets or doxycycline hyclate enteric-coated capsules, but use them under a veterinarian's guidance. At the same time, use nutritional support and IV fluids to boost the cat's immunity and aid recovery. During treatment, isolate the sick cat to avoid infecting other animals.
There are hard spots behind the neck and under the hips, and the nose keeps sneezing.
From the photo, the cat may have a respiratory infection and ringworm. Eye/nose discharge suggests a cold or feline rhinotracheitis; the crusts and dandruff on the neck suggest ringworm. Kittens have weak immunity. Use antifungal cream for ringworm; see a vet for the respiratory signs, and if it's rhinotracheitis, add lysine.
Why is my kitten’s belly especially big?
A big belly in a kitten may be caused by overeating, internal parasite infection, or feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). First, a kitten's organs are not yet mature and it has no sense of fullness, so overeating lets food pile up in the gut and bloat the belly; in this case, fast the kitten for a day and give some probiotics. Second, if the kitten is thin but has a large belly, it very likely has a heavy internal parasite load and needs prompt deworming. In addition, if the belly is swollen along with lethargy and poor appetite, and tapping the abdomen gives a clear fluid wave, it may be FIP and the kitten needs veterinary care promptly.
My cat has been sneezing a bit the last few days.
Occasional sneezing has many causes—respiratory infection, cold air, allergies, irritants. If occasional with no other signs, keep warm and reduce pollen, dust, and odors. If frequent or with runny nose, eye discharge, low appetite, or fever, give pet cold medicine like amoxicillin-clavulanate or doxycycline.
Cat has mycoplasma and pneumonia, want to make a home nebulizer, how to mix the medicine
