Ever since worming my kitten she hasn't been able to hold her herself. She will be standing or laying and poo will drip out. Like diarrhea it's been like this for days.

Some cats can experience some diarrhea after a worming treatment. However, from what you are describing it sounds like Precious is having a particularly bad reaction to her worming treatment. I would advise contacting the veterinarian who prescribed it, and discussing the issue. They may want to see Precious in for fluid therapy or for monitoring. In the meantime you can try the following at home; Rest her gastrointestinal tract for 6 hours A bland diet of boiled boneless chicken breast Low sodium chicken broth for hydration Here is an article to further advise you; https://www.petcoach.co/article/6-things-you-can-do-at-home-if-your-pet-has-diarrhea/

The diarrhea could be related to the deworming. I suggest you start her on a probiotic. I like Fortiflora. I would give 1/2 packet on food twice a day for two weeks. Do not use human probiotics. If you can't find Fortiflora then you can use any probiotic made for cats. Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
