    Is this normal for my kitten?
    I have kitten that is ten weeks old. He has been wormed and defeaed and meows loudly when he is going for a poo. It is runny at the moment and sometimes slightly thicker but never solid and sometimes has a tiny speck of blood when finished. He is on dry kitten biscuits and water, however I accidentally gave him human milk when I first got him but only half a saucer and not since, he has tried kitten milk but I have kept him back on water to sort out his poo. I am really worried as I need to know if this is normal for a kitten or whether I should take him to the vets. He seems fine in himself but has terrible wind. Please help!

    I would definitely take him to your vet. I have had cats my entire life and my animals are like children to me. With the loose bowels comes dehydration. I'm not an expert but it's better safe than sorry.

    It is not normal for him to cry when he goes or to have bad gas. Take him to a vet.

    And, right, don't give him milk. My cats throw up if they get more than a taste of it.

    First change his food to soft food for sensitive digestive systems. Possibly something hypoallergenic. This is available at most vet clinics. You might not get it first try but it sounds like your kitten has problems digesting the food he is eating.

    Take him to the vet, even though he has been wormed he may have coccidia - which is what the symptoms sound like. Most routine wormers only work on a few varieties of worms and coccidia needs another type of medicine to be treated. Please get this checked as soon as possible as this can be dangerous to kittens if left too long.
