It's not uncommon for kittens to experience digestive upset like diarrhea when adjusting to a new home, but persistence or worsening symptoms should not be overlooked.
- Monitor your kitten's condition closely
- Ensure she stays hydrated
- Consider consulting a veterinarian if symptoms persist
Your kitten's diarrhea may be the result of stress, dietary changes, or even an underlying health issue. While mild, short-term diarrhea is often temporary, pay attention to other signs like lethargy or loss of appetite. These could indicate a need for professional evaluation to ensure her health and wellbeing.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
