Why is my kitten pooping orange liquid with white spots on her bottom?

Question

My kitten has been pooping a lot more recently and they aren’t solid it’s more of a liquid and a bright orange color. Also she has white spots on her anal area. I’m not sure what they are but it’s on each side. I took a picture and included it below. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 6 lbs

I am sorry to hear about your kitten!!! Intestinal parasites are quite common in young kittens and you may not actually see the parasites in the stool. We can have worms as well as protozoal organisms like Coccidia and Giardia that can result in diarrhea. We can also have bacterial overgrowth in the GI tract cause loose stools, or dietary sensitivity. I would recommend brining Sally in to the vet for an exam as well as bringing a stool sample with you for the vet to test. In the meantime, you can pick up a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora at your pet store, online, or at your vet's office to add to her food which can sometimes help with diarrhea as well (but only if the underlying cause is also treated). The white areas you are seeing appear to be the openings to the anal sacs, which could be irritated or inflammed, another reason to have the vet take a look at her! http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=625
