Why is my 8-week-old kitten crying, struggling to poop, and has mucus?

Question

Our 8 week old kitten Trixie, has been crying most of the morning. She is calm for a few minutes then she will get down on the floor and go to the litter box and start to cry and either barley go or not at all. I found mucus on her butt and private. She is the runt of the litter. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old

Poor baby! I am worried that she is having diarrhea and an increased urgency to go or severe constipation. Since she is so uncomfortable and so tiny and young, I would strongly recommend to have her seen by your vet as soon as possible. Your vet will be able to determine the cause and get her started on the proper meds to help her feel better. They will also be able to give her fluids if needed. I hope this helps and she starts to feel better really soon!
