Hi,

I just came upon your site today and was wondering if you can help me. I took a 2 week old abandon kitty in 6 days ago. I been bottle feeding and helping him go potty when needed. yesterday he started having really loose stools now there just watery. Its a weekend can't find anyone that is open or less I want to pay tons of money I don't really have to take as emergency. He is playing, eating well, sleeping good and he loves to cuddle. But He still has the watery stools. What can I do to help this little baby out? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi
it is not unusual for very young kittens to get upset tummies, the important thing is to make sure they do not get dehydrated as this is the real problem.

i have a page with some instructions about how to treat diarrhea here

I also have lots of pages about looking after very young kittens which you may also find of interest here is the first page

best wishes and well done in looking after this poor little soul.

Kate
