My kitten has loose stools with mucus. Is it from a diet change?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Hello - my 1 month old persian male kitten had his 3rd loose stools with white mucus substance within a day. We weaned him of mother's milk to solid crushed royal canin wet food. Unfortunately, i assume that yesterday he ate out of his mother's wet food. Can you kindly help? Thanks

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If that is the case that she ate something that upset her stomach, this should improve shortly. Sometimes mild diarrhea can occur when making this transition. However, if this continues, I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and possible treatment. There is a chance this will improve on its own. Good luck and have a great day!
