Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. They probably got it from the mother. I recommend that you have them evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

    The liquid diarrhea indicates that there is an infection in the intestines. Kittens commonly get various infections that look like this. A veterinarian would be able to help identify the cause and/or treat for the common causes. I recommend taking him to a vet as soon as you can, because they can quickly get dehydrated with diarrhea like this and he may already be somewhat dehydrated. It's not an emergency right now, but it would be best to get an appointment within the next 24 hours. For now, I recommend to stop feeding the milk and only feed the Wiskas. Milk can actually cause diarrhea and is not needed at Stellet's age. Also, make sure there is plenty of clean water available for her. I hope that helps and Stellet gets better soon.

    I would make it a priority to get to the vet with this little girl. The main reason is that at this age, they are highly prone to dehydration with any excessive fluid loss. What you are describing is known as "secretory diarrhea," meaning they pass is really without any effort, and it can be a sign of several different types of gastrointestinal infections. I would get her in right away.
