I have two 4-week-old kittens. They are overall very healthy and playful. However, their poop has tiny yellow specks in it. What does this mean? These kittens are on powdered milk formula. Are the specks due to this? Thanks

Hi there! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely normal and just due to their current diet. Keep an eye on their feces and have your kitties evaluated by your veterinarian if you notive blood at any point as that would be concerning. However, their current stools are likely fine. Have a good day!
