Re: hi need help with a question

Is it cows milk? A lot of cats can't tolerate the lactose in cows milk. Just give them water it is all they need.

What food are you feeding them and what food were they on at their last home? Too quick a change in diet can also give them the runs - a changeover of food needs to be slow and gradual.

Stress can cause the runs too. Just moving home can cause this.

How old are they?

I would take them off all cat food and feed them a very bland diet of cooked chicken (no spices, or sauces) - you can grill it or bake it - for a few days until they are a bit better then very slowly (over at least a few days preferrably two weeks) reintroduce the food you are giving them. If they get the runs again they don't like that food. See the 3 or 4 threads on here for kitten food and what to give.

If the runs continue for another day or so you need to take them to the vets as dehydration is a killer in kittens.
