Is it normal for new kitten to have diarrhea? Started very slowly transitioning foods but after diarrhea started we went back to original food, and the diarrhea hasn't gone away

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not normal. Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have Ivy 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!
