Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Flagyl is an antibiotic that helps with diarrhea due to targeting certain bacteria in the GI tract. If your kitten has diarrhea, it may not be contagious. If she is on flagyl due to an intestinal parasite issue (such as giardia), then they should have separate litter boxes until ideally a fecal sample comes back normal. I would try to get more information on the cause of the diarrhea and then decide if they can be introduced. Good luck!
