Poor kitty. Sudden food changes can certainly cause a pet to have loose stool. Since you have dewormed then you can try giving Milo a bland diet of boiled plain chicken, tuna, or ground turkey and white rice to ease the stomach. You can also give probiotics --> https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/49853 If this does not improve the stools within 3-4 days, then its best to get Milo seen by your vet for further testing (i.e. fecal exam) and treatment (i.e. antibiotics, etc). Not all dewormers will treat for all potential intestinal parasites. I hope that your furry friend Milo resolves his loose stools soon! Best wishes and take care.
