Hi There,

I know that it is ok to use a very small amount of some diaper rash ointments on kittens, but you will have to check with your vet as far as brands.

If the kitten has soft stools and/or diarrhea, I recommend a vet check. Dehydration can be an issue in kittens with diarrhea, and if you bring in a stool sample as well it can be checked for parasites. I would also have the kitten's rear shaved (if he has long hair) so there is less for the stool to stick to. I prefer using baby shampoo for cat and kitten clean-ups, any brand is fine.

Regards,
PHKitkat
