Hey Karah…KZ has given some great advice goats milk is great for kittens ..

When a kitten has diarrhea they can become very dehydrated because their bodies are loosing a lot of fluids so a kitten with diarrhea needs to drink a lot to keep up with the fluid loss.. As for the worming of a kitten. Your vet should have advised to worm at 4 weeks old. Vaccinations do normally wait till 10-12 weeks but the worming should have started at 4 weeks. So I would deffinetly get a wormer from the vet now all you need is the kittens correct weight. A liquid wormer might be best at this late stage because the worm burden might be very high now and you don’t want all the worms dieing off in one go that might cause a blockage in the intestines so a gentle liquid wormer now and in 4 weeks time another dose of a good tablet wormer. A kitten should be wormed every 4-8 weeks untill they are 6 months old and after that wormed regularly depending on their outdoor activity.
