My kitten is 6 wk old and has watery poo is this normal?

Question

it is very watery and this is bothering me as he stands in it and gets it everwhere

Answer 1

Have you taken him in for his check up and shots.  Watery f***s can be a number of things, and it would be next to impossible to diagnose it here.  Anything from health issues to food and back to stress.  Get a vet to check him out to rule out any health issues to solve them before it gets worse.

Answer 2

No it isn't normal.  The most likely cause is parasites, and just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.  Most parasites (worms) are not visible to the naked eye.  Kittens can go downhill quickly.  See a vet as soon as possible.  Good luck!!

Answer 3

Well, typically kittens aren't even weaned until 8weeks, so it's probably a combination of a few things!

You can't 'deworm' your cat until it is at LEAST 8 weeks, but it will HAVE to be done! (Over the counter works well!) Worms are inherent in kittens, and makes their waste runny.

Also, it could be the food. I wouldn't give your kitten canned food, stick to a nutritional kitten chow dry food.. they make it sort of softer for the kittens teeth and enhance it with the proper vitamins.

Lastly, your kitten could be experiencing some changes due to the fact it's so young and no longer feeding from it's mother.

If the waste stays watery for more than three days, you will have to get medical attention or else it could run the risk of being dehydrated!

Good Luck!

It could be because you switched up the food he is used to or he has worms.  Look at his p**p and make sure there is nothing moving in there.
