Hello and thank you for reaching out to pet coach. You can try to change to a bland diet. Encourage wet food and water intake to prevent dehydration. Parasites are a common cause of diarrhea in kittens. Please make sure to take a new fecal sample into your veterinarian at the time of your appt. If he stops eating, and/or is vomiting please have him seen right away.
