Can you call the vet and ask for the dosage (how much and how often to give)? Kittens are so small that a regular cat dose may do more harm than good.
Pyrantel is a dewormer. Unless the bloody stools were caused by worms, Pyrantel may not do much if anything to help the stools return to normal. Did the vet take a poop sample and run bloodwork?
There is usually some dosage info on the bottle / equivalent.
Pyrantel is mild, so some overdosage isnt dangerous, if you happen to take too much. Also, the kitten isnt no longer tiny.
If your kitten not dewormed earleier / mom not dewormed, she has surely round worms. So a pyrantel cure isnt not wrong.
But if it is enough for curing the bloody stool, we will see.
