Diarrhea in 14 week kitten
Discussion
Hi
We picked up our 14 week old kitten last Saturday and all is fine except he's not had a solid stool since he came home. We've not changed his diet from what he was on at breeders (Royal Canin kitten dry and cooked chicken) but every time he poos it's diarrhea (one average one to two a day). Otherwise he's doing well, full if energy etc
We've had him at the vet for a general check up and mentioned this - vet said to monitor for 2 weeks as it's likely stress of settling in as he was healthy otherwise (she checked him over fully). Does this sound reasonable or should I take him back - he has some fresh red seepage again vet said not to worry about this unless it changes from being slight and fresh red.
Thanks

Hi the vet yes it is Loki and Gail has been in touch and very helpful! Since he's been on medicine he's no longer got blood in stools but still nothing solid so far. Our vet is treating him for giardia, he's very happy in himself and full of energy and vet is delighted with his health etc. So we just need to get his tummy sorted - still feeding him as advised. Thanks for the reply
