Absolutely get a vet check first. Worms or other parasites are very common in kittens, and can make them very ill very fast. Take a stool sample in with you for testing...get it as free from the litter as you can.
Once the problem is identified and treated, live yogurt isn't a bad idea. Goat's yogurt would be much better though - the molecular structure is different to cow's yogurt and it's much more readily digested.
