My kitten has liquid, discolored poop but is still active. Why?

Question

We found a 3-4 week/old kitten. He's passed liquid stools since we got him; initially brown then yellowish then white. He's full of energy nevertheless! He's been on a diet of kitten formula and soft food. Pink gums. I'd attach photos of the stool, but the smell of it has forced us to immediately remove it.

Hi there and thanks for posting! Diarrhea or loose stools can be common in kittens with intestinal parasites. I would recommend running a fecal test at your veterinarian's office to rule out parasites as cause. Falcor may need to be on medication and may need a few more deworming treatments and a recheck fecal test to help treat him and be sure he is negative for parasites. Be sure to wash your hands well after touching his feces during little box clean up or if he has an accident on the floor. Hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
