Hi, my kitten who is 7 months old is having very loose and watery stool, she isn’t eating human food, just organic kitten food. This has been going on for about 3-4 days! I’m not sure if this is something I should worry about or not, but if you could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea or loose stools can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Bailee evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!
