If you haven't dewormed yet it can be from parasites. It can also happen during weaning or they could have bacteria in their gut. The best thing to do is find a vet who honors rescue pricing and have a fecal run for the kitten. You can bring in a sample of their poop to avoid the stress of transporting the kitten as well. Hope this helps, and yes all my kittens normally have diarrhea at one point or another. Super common!
When I have a kitten with diarrhea I look at their age, if I just changed their food (like when weaning). If they are not weaning or I haven't changed the food I take some of their poop to the vet to have a fecal done. It can be parasites or a bacteria. Strongid is safe for small kittens. If you haven't dewormed yet I would start with that. You can also use benebac if the diarreha is caused by weaning. Find a vet around you who honors rescue pricing. You can have a fecal run pretty quickly, and get medication if its neccessary.
