Diarrhea after a diet change is common, especially if introduced too quickly. Ideally, new foods should be transitioned gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old. While mild, temporary diarrhea can be normal, persistent or severe diarrhea, especially with blood, lethargy, or vomiting, warrants veterinary attention. Ensure your kitten remains hydrated. If it's mild, a bland diet of boiled chicken and rice for a day or two can help settle the stomach, then reintroduce the new diet very slowly.
