I would bring Miyya to a veterinarian and have them evaluate her stool sample. Kittens can have multiple different types of intestinal parasites, although only a few you will actually see in their stool (roundworms and tapeworms). Roundworms look like spaghetti while tapeworms look like pieces of rice. I recommend a stool sample to make sure we do not miss any of the intestinal parasites that she may have since not all parasites are treated the same way.
