My kitten has green diarrhea?

Edit:

No problem: "Mi Gato, Su Gato" and vice versa;)

There is an Australian RSPCA and the CareCredit is from GE Money bank (a huge international corporation) Give it a try:

You'll have to scroll down the page a bit to find he selection for "Taking Care of Your Pet".

And please note that rice has fiber, fiber will make his stool more loose. Cats are carnivores. Chicken is good but organ meats like chicken liver is better. Nonetheless, it's important to get him to the vet ASAP. Good luck.

Surely a very small amount of fiber is good, just not when they have diarrhea.

Here is some information on how to help your cat now!

A lot of vets now have something called CareCredit. They can offer it to you so that you can get the cat treated now and pay in low monthly installments. Most large nonprofit animal organizations like ASPCA and HSUS clinics use this to help poor people and their pets while giving them a discounted price on the services provided. This is a great search engine I found for these types of emergencies. It will help you locate a low cost clinic near you. The site is Pets911.com an here's the link:

You would be better off taking your kitten to a vet right away.

Diarrhea in a kitten could mean a multitude of things; from being malnourished, to having worms, to having an internal infection.

But diarrhea isn't good in any situation. He could be acting tired because he's dehydrated or it could be something internally going on.

If I could propose my own recipe for food? Rice and chicken is good for fiber but if you substitute the rice for baby rice (as in for human babies http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.Drugs... It still has fiber to build up their stool but it also has extra nutrients too that a dehydrated kitten could use. I usually mix about a third a can of wet cat food with maybe a fourth a cup of baby rice. Use luke warm water to make it and stir it to even out any hot spots. Also, how old would you say your kitten was?

Edit: Fiber for a cat is perfectly fine. While they are carnivorous, cats would normally hunt herbivores which in turn, have diets high in fiber. Cats need fiber too.

Take the kitten to the vet now. At that age, their body's don't handle illness well. If you can't get him to your regular vet, look for a 24 hour office.
