I just got a kitten the lady I got her from said she was healthy but when I got her home as I settled her in I noticed she was wobbly in the back end I dismissed it due to the stress of moving homes I gave her kitten food as soon she ate the she went to the toilet her stool was yellow and had a horrible smell she was quivering in the back end I have a vet appointment today for her today can it be worms

Poor Hope! Worms, stress, change in diet, viral infections and eating strange things such as house plants can all contribute to diarrhea in kittens. Given the weakness I recommend a full check up as soon as possible
