What is this kitten eating? Getting them off of dry and onto one type
of protein usually helps. Probiotics are a good idea too. Switching my
IBD kitty, Gypsy, to a raw diet pulled her from death's door. Gypsy was
stealing Gracie's food when I was trying anything I could think of to
get her to eat. It sent Gypsy into a terrible relapse and she refused
her raw food. I've been working with a homeopathic practitioner and
Gypsy is slowly getting better.

Trudy,
With your permission, I could pass your message along to the feline
leukemia group to see if they have any ideas. Some of them are very
experienced with treating kitty illnesess and deliberately adopt Felv
cats with compromised immune systems; many of their cats stay healthy
for a long time with proper care).
I'm thinking, like you are, that if the kitten still has diarrhea,
something is wrong and maybe you need to see another vet.
I adopted a stray 12 years ago who had kittens. All of them had to be
put on meds for some gastro-intestinal problem they picked up from
their mother, it may have been diarrhea and it cleared up.

Subject: Kitten with diarrhea
We adopted a kitten from a farm - his dam had feline herpes and
passed it on to him even though he was immunized. He was sneezing
when we got him but it has stopped and he's been fine. However, he
has light caramel coloured runny bowel movements. We wormed him with
strongid when we got him, then we treated him later with Revolution.
He eats well, is growing and very comfortable. He just doesn't have
formed bowel movements. The vet checked him out when he was wormed
and said he was fine, but we still have the diarrhea. Any thoughts?
