My kitten’s left belly is bloated and it struggles to poop—is it overeating, constipation, or something else?
A bloated belly can come from overeating, fur-ball blockage, constipation (worse if it won't drink), or parasites (with diarrhea and poor appetite). Ease digestion with a gentle tummy rub and temporary fasting, feed digestible goat-milk formula and kibble, add probiotics or hairball paste, and use a kitten-safe dewormer. See a vet if it does not improve.
My kitten has abnormal stool—sticky paste with the rear protruding
The photo shows unformed stool with jelly-like intestinal mucosa, usually diarrhea from diet, indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites or panleukopenia. If infrequent and alert, give probiotics and small frequent bland meals; if persistent, use intestinal anti-inflammatory/anti-diarrhea meds (bismuth carbonate, cefadroxil) 3-5 days, then deworm. If frequent with lethargy/vomiting, see a vet.
I force-fed my kitten goat milk formula today and it vomited at night
Vomiting after force-feeding goat milk formula may be gut irritation or stress, and underlying gut disease like bacterial enteritis, gastritis, parasites, or panleukopenia can also cause it. If the kitten is energetic it is usually fine; give probiotics and acid-reducing medicine, but if vomiting persists or worsens, see a vet.

2-month-old kitten, home a week, switched food; ate well first 2-3 days then buried poop by the bowl and stopped eating kibble and meat for 3-4 days; mild diarrhea with undigested chicken breast, smelly

Two-month-old kitten with blood in stool, suspected cat litter ingestion, prolapse from diarrhea, vomiting; corona virus weakly positive at the clinic, diagnosed with gastroenteritis
Blood in the stool and vomiting in a young kitten call for ruling out panleukopenia and parasites. With weak corona positivity it may be corona virus enteritis or a foreign-body issue; follow the vet's plan.
How many ml of smectite for a 20-day kitten with diarrhea?

Nearly 3-month male kitten has a sesame-sized white grain on its bottom; are they parasite eggs?
