It is quite common for kittens to experience some gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea, when their diet is changed abruptly. Their digestive systems are sensitive, and a sudden switch can be a shock. When introducing new food, it's always best to transition gradually over 7-10 days, mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old. Ensure your kitten has access to plenty of fresh water to prevent dehydration. If the diarrhea persists, is severe, or your kitten shows other symptoms like lethargy or vomiting, Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance, as it could indicate something more serious or an intolerance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
