Hope someone can help. Feral 9 week old spay kitten has diarrhea, cries when going and will not use litterbox.

Any suggestions. This kitten came from a feral colony. She has been spayed, dewormed, flea treated.

She occasionally uses the litterbox. Her poop is liquid and stinks. She cries when she poops.

Help.

How old is she?  Has she seen a vet about the liquid poop?

If you let us know how old she is we can probably better advise you.

Your kitten needs to see a vet asap! Diarrhea in young kittens can kill them. She is also clearly quite uncomfortable. Things like coccidia and giardia is common in colonies and both require prescription medication. There could also be other causes so this needs to be properly diagnosed by a vet. There is nothing you can do to treat this at home. Not treating things like this in time can also lead to inflammatory bowel disease which is chronic, meaning that the cat will have diarrhea off and on his whole life.

Fortunately this is not something that should be very expensive to diagnose and treat.
