Diarrhea after a diet change is common in kittens, as their digestive systems can be sensitive to abrupt transitions. When switching foods, it's best to do it gradually over 7-10 days, mixing increasing proportions of the new food with the old. However, if the diarrhea is severe, contains blood, or is accompanied by vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite, it could indicate a more serious issue like a parasitic infection or a severe food intolerance. Ensure your kitten remains hydrated. If symptoms persist or worsen, a vet check is advised. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
