My 7-week-old kitten's poop smells really bad. What could be the cause?

Question

I have a 7 week kitten that has a healthy appetite and eats dry kitten food, wet cat food, drinks milk and water. Problem is when he deficates, the smell is really bad. He goes to the bathroom regularly. Suggestions? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | 1 month and 24 days old | 2 lbs

I recommend to stop giving him milk as that could be upsetting the intestinal flora. Kittens are weaned around this age or earlier. I also recommend to have the stool checked for worms and coccidia as these parasites will also cause a foul smelling stool. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
