Hello, I just got a kitten today, from a pet store, and his first BM
was very runny and very WORMY.
What do I do first?

Thanks, Shawn

Go to the vet. It's not unusual. It is easily taken care of. New kittens
should *always* have a vet check first thing anyway. It *is* bad not to take
the kitten for treatment at all.

Amazing thing is that those worms are a real delicacy in some countries. You
may wish to keep them and saut? them as a snack down the road. Some people
let their cat keep the worms as a sort of snack-maker. Your call. I
personally do not like them much. But if you do decide to eat them, be sure
to wash the poop off of them thoroughly and completely to avoid getting sick
from E-Coli in kitty's belly. Just like any other food, wash thoroughly

Get the kitten to the vet so he can be treated.
