take it to the vet immediately to be examined for possible parasites or worms. At that age it can kill, and the treatments are fairly quick and easy. also, check his diet for anything new that may be causing him problems.

It's possible that the food you're feeding the kitten just doesn't not agree with baby's tummy.
If you're giving it cows milk, that could be the problem.
Lastly if the kitten hasn't been to the Vet then it needs to go in for a check-up because worms can also cause diarrhea in cats and kittens.
Don't let this go on any longer, cats and kittens can become dehydrated very quickly when they have diarrhea.
Good luck, I hope the kitten feels better soon

Take him to the vet immediately. Kittens can go downhill very quickly, and dehydration can be life-threatening at that age.
It might be a parasite, a stomach virus, or something else. Most of these things clear up very well with the right meds. The vet will be able to tell. he can also determine if the kitten is dehydrated and give him fluids if need be.
Note: Don't use clumping clay litters with young kittens. They'll put anything in their mouth (like human toddlers), and you don't want the litter to clump up inside kitty. Once the cat is a older, it's okay to use them.)
Good luck to you and the kitten!

YOUR FIRST QUESTION IS "HAS THE KITTEN BEEN DEWORMED?" IF NOT BRING HER TO THE VET AND HAVE HER DEWORMED ASAP. KITTENS AND PUPPIES ALWAYS ARE BORN WITH INTESTINAL PARASITES THAT THEY CONTRACT FROM THIER MOTHER AT BIRTH. THIS IS VERY EASY AND AFFORDABLE TO TAKE CARE OF. BUT IF LEFT UNTREATED THE KITTEN CAN DIE FROM THE INFESTATION.
IF THE KITTEN HAS BEEN DEWORMED YOU MAY WANT TO TRY ANOTHER ROUND, USUSALLY THE VET RECCOMMENDS DEWORMING ONCE EVERY 4 TO 6 WEEKS FOR THE 1ST FEW MONTHS OF LIFE.
IF WORMING IS NOT THE ISSUE I WOULD CALL YOUR VET AND HAVE THE KITTEN SEEN JUST BECAUSE SHE COULD BECOME DEHYDRATED AND YOU WANT TO NIP THE ISSUE IN THE BUD BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND.

1. Don't feed him milk
2. De-worm him
3. Feed him Hill's i/d or Royal Canin intestinal
4. Give him a quarter of a Canikur pill
5. If after all these the diarrhea hasn't stopped in a couple off days, go to the vet.

If there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it after taking it to the vet then just wait it out. Best to get Arm and Hammer cat litter. It flushes down the toilet easily.
