Hello,
I have a 3-month-old kitten (4 months next week) who is having some mild diarrhea. The only symptoms I have noticed are possible dehydration. She does drink a lot of water. How can I tell if she is dehydrated? Thankfully she is still playing and acting like her usual self but I am still worried about her. Is it time to take her to the vet? The only thing that explains the problem is overfeeding. She somehow managed to get into an entire bag of food a few days ago and I think it's really messing with her tummy. I am watching her closely to make sure she isn't having any other symptoms. Thank you for your help!

You might want to call your vet. They will probably have you bring in a stool sample to check for worms which is very common with kittens. Worms can cause diarrhea.
