Hi, Noushmc today has diarrhea after days of constipation. She acts hungry but she doesn't eat. She drank water. She had a very small breakfast. Should I be worried?

Hello. Since your kitten is fairly young, and small, I would recommend having her seen by a vet. Kittens can become dehydrated rapidly when they have diarrhea. Your vet can first find out why she has diarrhea and then prescribe treatments to help stop the diarrhea before she gets too dehydrated. Best wishes to you and Noushmc. Thanks for using Pet Coach!
