What To Do If Your Kitten Has Diarrhea

There are many possible reasons kittens get diarrhea. It may be something they have consumed or even a result of certain environmental conditions. While most cases of diarrhea are self-limiting and will go away on its own without medical intervention, there are instances when the problem persists and is accompanied by other important clinical signs; these cases warrant a visit to your vet clinic for appropriate veterinary attention.

Diet

Sudden dietary changes can possibly lead to digestive upsets. Introducing a new diet should be done gradually so the stomach will have enough time to get used to the new food.

Food allergies and food intolerance

A kitten can develop diarrhea when he is allergic to specific component/s in his diet. Identifying the component and changing your pet’s diet can help address the problem.

Infections and Parasites

Certain bacterial and viral infections as well as a heavy parasite load can all lead to bouts of diarrhea in kittens. 

Kittens can easily suffer from dehydration as a result of diarrhea. Take your pet to your Lafayette, LA veterinary center for proper medical attention.
