When should I take my 8-week-old kitten to the vet for loose stool?

Question

I have a kitten who is eight weeks old. Her last three poos have been loose. She is having a health check at the vet on Friday. Do you think I need to take her sooner? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 27 days old

Not yet. I can give you a home remedy for Muffin to see if that helps. Feed her a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she starts vomiting food, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away.
