Hi, my 12 week old kitten has diarrhoea. I think it only started today and he has pooed twice by the looks of the litter box. He doesn’t seem upset or anything. What do I do?

Occasional diarrhea is not uncommon but she should be checked if it persists longer than 48hrs, she becomes feverish or weak or starts vomiting. Be sure to keep up to date with deworming medications and add a probiotic/fiber supplement such as fortiflora
