Why is my new kitten having diarrhea, shaking, and acting tired?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 14 days old

Hello. My recently adopted kitten, Liliko, is 10 weeks old and seems to have Diarrhea. Her poops have been quite runny through out the day. An hour ago she went to use the litter box and could audibly hear that she still had diarrhea, she jumped up on the bed meowing and seemed to lose control and let go of her stool. It was brown and runny. She seemed to also be shaking as she pooped. I saw her sneeze once earlier today but had been fine other than that. She's resting now but just seems tired.

Liliko may have intestinal parasites especially with being so young. I would recommend bringing her to a veterinarian to have her stool checked and get a routine dewormer. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
