Question Kitten tummy upset

Hello all, I need advice about one (maybe two) of my cats. Since Friday we have been finding soft poo in the trays, not liquid runny just very soft and sticky like drops (about the size of a 20p diameter ball). I think I know who it is, Bellinda, the one who eats like a pig constantly, she seems otherwise fine though, eating and drinking and playing.
The only thing is she is maybe a bit more needy than usual looking for cuddles etc but then shes off running round daft again. Ive been keeping an eye and she has got no better and no worse but we just fed them 10 mins ago and I went upstairs to find sick on the floor, it looks exactly like it did in the bowl 5 mins ago.
I know its not uncommon for kittens to be sick but with the soft poo I'm wondering if there is something wrong. She is about 19 weeks old and had been wormed etc but I was wondering if it could be that she needs worming again?
If this hasn't cleared up by tomorrow or if she gets worse then I'll be straight to the vet but in the meantime, I was thinking about removing all wet food and only leaving dry food and water for them?
I have 3 cats, the eldest is fine but I'm worried about the youngest who is a couple weeks younger than Bellinda she also seems fine but I haven't actually seen who it is who was sick and who it is with the soft poo so technically it could be her as well.

Anything else I could be doing before taking her to get checked?

Re: Kitten tummy upset

Sorry, I thought I should add, of all the cats Bellinda is least keen on dry food so she eats much more wet than the other two. We give them a variety of good quality wet food and sometimes try new stuff, I'm wondering if maybe something we gave on Thursday or Friday upset her and she just hasn't shifted it yet? Although varied all the foods we give them they have been getting for a while but this week they have had more fishy stuff than usual, could it be that?

Re: Kitten tummy upset

it does sound very much like the food so maybe put her back to something else you know she is ok with and see how she is and if it gets worse or doesnt stop with that then definately a trip to the vets i would say

Re: Kitten tummy upset

Thanks, I did think it must have been the food as if she was unwell she wouldn't still be tearing round the house

Both the wee ones currently asleep in my undies drawer but I've removed enough for the next few days in case there are any accidents
