My kitten has soft orange stools after cow's milk. What should I feed?

Question

My 2.5 month old kitten has had soft stools for over 2 weeks now. When we first adopted him his stills were normal. My boyfriend thought it would be ok to give him cows milk and since then he has had orange soft stools every day. I thought by now his stools would be back to normal. He was checked at our local shelter twice now and he had no parasites and was vaccinated as well. What can I give him?

Cows milk is not good to give to kittens because cats are lactose intolerant and it causes GI upset. Feed Tom a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting Best of luck.
