Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 11 days old | 5.5 lbs
My about 1 month old female cat has had this reoccurring mucus slimy brown looking diarrhea about every hour; not daily. After she does her business, she drinks some water & starts sucking/kneading on clean pillows & blankets til she eventually falls asleep. I'm very worried and concerned for her, is she okay? :-(

These signs may be compatible with a moderate to severe gastrointestinal inflammation/ infection. Dehydration can occur quite rapidly in kittens so a clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
