Question
Hi,
My kittens have diarrhoea. They have become weak. What can I do to stop thin watery discharge. They are just drinking water.
Thanks

Answer
Kelly,

You need to take your kittens to a vet. There are a number of reasons a kitten may have diarrhea and your vet is in the best position to get tot he bottom of it.  

How old are the kittens?  Do you know if the cause is something they got into?  Is it bacterial? is it Viral? is it intestinal parasites?  All of these have different treatments.

The biggest problem with kittens is how quickly they can get dehydrated! This is why a vet visit is necessary.
