Diarrhea In My Kitten

[GoodJuju]

My kitten is a little over 17 weeks. She was spayed a week ago. Everything was going great. She’s acting normal incision looks great but today I noticed she has super mushy diarrhea looking poop. She’s been dewormed(about 3 weeks ago) & just given advantage multi. She was given the last round of all her shots at the time of the spay. I gave her pure pumpkin just now to help settle her tummy. Any ideas?

I just switched her litter to tidy cats just yesterday. Could that be it?

She’s also notorious for trying to sneak on the table. I caught her trying to have my kids milk which I know is a no no for kitties. Just thinking of things that could of caused it.

What color is it, and how is the smell?

It was lighter colored brown and there was a bit of a smell. She farted a loud fart when she pooped. That’s what caught my attention and it sounded like a wetter poop.

How many times has she had the diarrhea? If she's still eating and drinking well, you could wait a day or two and see if it resolves on its own. You can do the pinch test to make sure she isn't dehydrated. More info on that: Cat Dehydration Symptoms - Dehydration in Cats | petMD. You can also add some water to her food if you're worried about dehydration.

Great information. Tried the pinch test and she’s definitely not dehydrated. I’m going to add some water to her food and just keep a eye. She’s acting fine and eating great. Maybe it was a fluke thing.
