Why is my rescued kitten's diarrhea orange liquid and she won't eat?

Question

I just rescued a 2 months old stray cat 2 days ago and gave her milk and baby food for the night. Her feces that night was normal. The next day I got some wet cat food and dry cat food to feed her so i changed her diet. Also I found out that I'm not supposed to give her milk so I gave her water instead. Last night and this morning she had diarrhea and she wouldn't eat her cat food. Her feces is basically orange liquid now. I tried giving her cat snacks but it didn't work. Please help me :(. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 2 months and 16 days old | 2 lbs

I recommend to have Milly examined by the veterinarian and bring in a fresh stool sample to have her checked for parasites. Cats who have been outside a lot often have worms and protozoal parasites (some of which can spread to humans). Diet changes can also cause diarrhea. Lastly, kittens can be prone to bacterial over growth and any diarrhea lasting longer than 48 hours generally benefits from an antibiotic. You can try feeling Milly a bland diet. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. A good diet in general is Royal Canin. It is low residue and highly digestible and you can transition her to this diet once she is feeling better. I hope Milly starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
