I would recommend you take Snow in to your veterinarian for an exam. She likely needs to have her stool checked for intestinal parasites so she can be given the appropriate de-worming medication, as many kittens are born with intestinal parasites. I would also be concerned about potential other causes of diarrhea, such as bacterial overgrowth or viral infections. She also needs to get started on her kitten vaccines and may need medication for the diarrhea and/or a diet change.
