My 2-month-old kittens have diarrhea and swollen, dirty butts.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

my three kittens (two months old) have diarrhea and it won't go away. one of my kittens had greyish diarrhea, which i think is from overeating. they dont seem sick, but i still dont want something bad wrong with them. also, their butts are a little swollen, and theyre not cleaning their butts too good.

If they all have it, it could be due to something like intestinal worms. It's concerning this diarrhea won't go away, and they can easily become dehydrated from it. I'd take them into the vet first thing in the morning to get the cause of the diarrhea diagnosed so they can be treated. I hope this helps!
