Could be stress from losing their mum & siblings too soon possibly? Could you phone woodgreen up and see what they say? It's just the blood in the stools that would worry me a little. But i'm sure a few pages back someone said that can be normal providing it doesn't persist, so i'm not sure hun.

Poor kitty. He may need a course of antibiotics if its a bacterial infection. I think I would starve him for 12 hours too then when you give him tiny bits of chicken put some LIVE natural yoghurt on it and some runny honey.The yoghurt adds good bacteria to the gut and the honey is a natural antiseptic and also makes it taste nice. Give a tiny spoonful of this a few times a day gradually increasing the amount then when ready gradually add his normal food to the mixture until he is back on his normal diet. Also if Scooby isnt eating properly I would give him the same treatment it wont do any harm

That's exactly what I would have advised had I been in to read your post. Kitten are very 'enthusiastic' about the toilet at the best of times and when they have diarrhoea they tend to keep on pushing too hard and invariably can burst a blood vessel which is what may be causing the blood you are seeing. Starve them and then feed them gently as advised and see if there is still bloody when the diarrhoea calms down.

And the pro-biotic yoghurt and honey will help loads too!!

As Shell says, it's a natural antiseptic and it's good for them!
