I would not give human kaopectate in a kitten that young. You are better off trying pro-pectalin/probiotic paste made for animals and if the diarrhea does not clear then consult with your vet. The label instrucitons say 1cc up to every 8 hours. I suggest only giving half that amount in a kitten that young. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Vetoquinol-009VET-15CC-Pro-Pectalin-Gel/43412669 Hope this helps. Best wishes.
