A fecal test needs to be done. General deworming only deworms for the most common intestinal parasites - not every possible parasite. Parasites that can cause bloody stool that are common in kittens are coccidia, giarida and tritrichomonas. It could also be a bacterial overgrowth like a clostridial infection. I suggest you have a fecal test done so you know what actually needs to be treated. Intestinal parasites are very common in young kittens - especially coccidia.
