I would continue to feed her her normal kitten food. Diarrhea can be caused by sudden changes in diet, food intolerance, continued drinking of milk, intestinal parasites, bacterial or viral infection, etc. If the diarrhea continues for 48 hours, I would recommend that Lucy get checked out by the vet to determine the cause and start treatment. Make sure she gets plenty of fluids until the diarrhea resolves.
