Two new kittens, with diarrhea!

Question:
We just got 2 kittens who are brothers. One is definitely the runt of the litter and very tiny. He is eating fine but sleeping alot and having a lot of diarrhea. We have only had them for 2 days so they are still getting adjusted. Should I be concerned?

A:  I would recommend taking them both to a veterinarian for an examination and stool check.

I recommend all new pets be examined by a veterinarian.  I am a little concerned about the diarrhea in your kittens.  While they may be getting adjusted, they could also have an infection or parasite load that is causing the diarrhea and small weight.  I would recommend scheduling an appointment for your kittens to make sure they get started off on a healthy note.
