It sounds like the recent change in your kitten's diet might be the cause of her diarrhea. Cats can have sensitive digestive systems, and sudden changes in food can sometimes lead to gastrointestinal upset.

To help manage her diarrhea at home, here are a few steps you can take:

First, ensure she has access to plenty of fresh water. Diarrhea can lead to dehydration, especially in young kittens, so keeping her hydrated is crucial.

Since you've already switched back to her usual food, continue with that. Sometimes, a bland diet can help settle her stomach. You might consider offering a small amount of plain, boiled chicken or rice mixed with her regular food.

Keep an eye on her litter box to monitor the frequency and consistency of her stools. Also, watch for any other symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or loss of appetite.

Sometimes, probiotics can help restore the natural balance of bacteria in the gut. You can find these at pet stores or consult with your vet for recommendations.

If her diarrhea continues for more than a few more days, or if she starts showing other symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or a significant decrease in appetite, it would be best to consult with a veterinarian. Persistent diarrhea in kittens can lead to dehydration and other complications, so it's important to address it promptly.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
