Why is my kitten still pooping runny everywhere after deworming?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 24 days old | 4 lbs

I rescued a stray kitten that was about 4 months old. Since I brought her home she has pooped non-stop. I thought it could have been worms but when I took her to the vet, she was given de-worming medicine and for about a week, she had blood and worm parts in her poop. Now her poop doesn't have blood, but it's very runny, and it's almost like she can't hold it because she poops EVERYWHERE! What do I do?!

I hate to hear that. It’s possible she is still having issues with worms (some heavily infested pets will require multiple treatments) or that she has another problem like bacterial imbalance or a dietary problem. I recommend to rule out the possible causes by having her stool examined again. This will help determine if worms or bacterial imbalance is present. then she can start the appropriate treatment. I hope she starts feeling better quickly.
