    The best thing to do would be to have this kitten examined by a veterinarian.  There are many causes of diarrhea in kittens.  This kitten should be screened for intestinal parasites, infectious disease (feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus), diet issues, and bacterial overgrowth.  Diarrhea means food is not being absorbed and digested appropriately.  It is very important for kittens to get nutrients during growth.  Also the worse the diarrhea the more water is lost through the intestinal tract leading to dehydration.  Kittens with chronic diarrhea do not gain weight and develop properly.
    All kittens should have a fecal exam and 2 broad spectrum dewormings as part of their kitten vaccination series with a veterinarian.
