Your kitten may have something as treatable as worms or something as serious as a perforated intestine. Please check with a vet as soon as possible.

Bloody diarrhea is a significant concern for all household pets, but is especialy so for kittens and puppies. It can indicate a serious health condition that may even be contagious. Diarrhea of any kind can cause a kitten to rapidly dehydrate, which can be life threatening.
