My 5-month-old kitten has chronic diarrhea, what are treatment options?

Question

Hello, my 5 month old kitten has been experiencing chronic diarrhea. He has no fever, not lethargic. Extensive blood work, fecal panel, and urinalysis came up neg for everything except low protein in stool. He's up to date on vaccines and neutered. His doc is unsure of what to to do at this point other than monitor kittens weight. We adopted him from a shelter 3 weeks ago. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 5 months and 3 days old | 3.31 lbs

Not sure if he has been treated with any medications but you could try him on a veterinary prescription intestinal diet. Your vet could also try some symptomatic therapy including, Metronidazole and a Proviable-Forte Kit and see if he improves on medications.
