My kitten has diarrhea but acts normal

Thanks for reaching out with your concern about your kitten’s diarrhea. It's great to hear that your little one is still acting normal while this is happening. Diarrhea in kittens can often be caused by diet changes, stress, parasites like worms, or even infections.



Since your kitten's energy level seems unchanged, there are a few things you can try at home to help manage the diarrhea. Ensure your kitten stays hydrated, as diarrhea can cause dehydration. Encourage drinking by offering fresh water and feeding a bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, which can be easier on the tummy for a short period. Remember to transition back to regular food gently once symptoms improve.



Keep an eye out for signs that might indicate a more serious issue, including lethargy, vomiting, blood in the diarrhea, or if the diarrhea persists for more than a day or two.



If you notice any of these signs or if the diarrhea continues, it’s important to get a professional opinion. We'd love to help further, so consider booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. With a closer look, we can better understand what’s happening and recommend the best care for your kitten.
