Diarrhea after a diet change is common, especially with kittens, as their digestive systems are sensitive. It's best to transition new food gradually over 7-10 days by mixing increasing amounts of the new food with decreasing amounts of the old food. If the diarrhea is mild and your kitten is otherwise acting normal (energetic, eating, drinking), you can try a bland diet for a day or two (boiled chicken and rice, or a vet-recommended gastrointestinal diet). However, if the diarrhea is severe, bloody, or accompanied by vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite, seek veterinary attention promptly.
