My kitten is about four months old, I just noticed this past week that he seems to be suffering from diarrhea and a bloated stomach my partner feels that he is fine he seems to be eating normal and playing alot, should I be concerned I heard giving your kittens yogurt or pumpkin fillings seem to help with the diarrhea. What should I do???

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.
