Kittens with diarrhea but in good spirits may be caused by indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasitic infection, etc. At this time, it is recommended that the owner fasts the kitten for one or two meals and observes it. If the kitten recovers, it may be due to indigestion caused by eating too much or too fast. However, if the kitten's diarrhea does not improve or if it develops abnormal symptoms such as vomiting or poor appetite, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine the specific cause, and then provide symptomatic treatment.
1. Indigestion
Kittens’ intestines and stomach are relatively fragile and their digestive function is not good. If they eat too fast or too much, they may suffer from indigestion and cause diarrhea, but Mental state is relatively normal. In this regard, the owner can feed the kitten some pet probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract and relieve the symptoms of vomiting in the kitten. In addition, when feeding cats, you should also pay attention to small meals and frequent meals.
2. Gastroenteritis
If the kitten eats inappropriate food, is frightened, or changes food in the wrong way, etc., it can easily cause gastroenteritis and cause diarrhea. The kitten's spirit may not be affected at first, but in the later stages, the cat may develop symptoms such as vomiting, depression, abdominal pain, and elevated body temperature. Therefore, owners must pay attention to observation and seek medical attention promptly if they find other abnormalities in their cats to prevent the cat’s gastroenteritis from becoming more serious.
3. Parasitic infection
Generally speaking, kittens can be dewormed for the first time after they are one month old. If the owner has never dewormed the kitten, it should be treated as a puppy. Cats infected with internal parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms can cause diarrhea, and parasites may also be found in the cat’s excrement. The owner can check the kitten's feces. If there are worms in the feces, it means that the cat's belly is full of worms. You need to consult a pet doctor quickly to choose safe and effective anthelmintic drugs.
