In response to New kitten posted by ashia16:


How old is she? Was she rescued from outside or from an agency? I wonder if she'd been eating very well. Yogurt will actually work the same for both diarrhea and constipation. Canned food or milk (use kitten milk replacer to be easier on her tummy) might also make her go, but you don't want to give her much or change her diet too abruptly, so anything you give her, just give her teensy amounts a couple of times a day.

If this doesn't help her go, and stimulating her bottom doesn't have any effects, you could try soaking her from the tummy down in a warm sink of water for just a couple of minutes.

I hope she has some movement soon, poor girl. If she didn't by in the morning, I'd probably want the vet's opinion on that, so give him a call. I'm assuming she was wormed at the vet's office, and this will also typically make them potty. So she should use the litter box soon!

Good luck!
