Rescued kitten eats & poops a lot after deworming. Should I worry?

Question

Baby cat, Street rescued. Very cute, but she eats and Poops like there's no tomorrow. She can easily finish 3 pack of 70 gram baby cat food a day. What seems strange to me is that she poops almost exactly what she eats, nothing stays inside it seems. I have had her for 4 days, and all she does is eat and poop. She is hungry all day long, and I don't think it's normal. I should mention that she had worms in her poop, and for that she got an oral medication once a day x4 days. Should I worry? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 30 days old | 4.4 lbs

Congratulations on adding Poopie to your family! Given how thin she is, I am not surprised all she wants to do is eat. Feed her a high quality diet. These diets will be easier to digest and this will mean that she gets more nutrients. I recommend to feed her Royal Canin Kitten food or Purina ProPlan. Feed her a mixture of canned and dry food. You could also give her a probiotic which can help make the bacteria in her gut healthy. Lastly, follow up by having her stool checked for parasites again one week after she takes her last deworming medication. Ask the veterinarian to make sure she does not have other parasites like coccidia. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
