Thanks guys for your advice! He went to the vet for a checkup today and has no fever, the eyes are now fully open (after some euphrasia) and bright. The diarrhoea certainly is not bothering him and its not at all smelly. He was a stray that turned up on the doorstep and I have not had any luck at tracking down owners as yet. The vet also believes its something he ate and is not contagious so have been introducing him to the dog (who he is in love with). He is in isolation at the moment until the diarrhoea settles. I have been cleaning him and we have natural litter. He is apparently about 5 or 6 weeks old and I think must have been weaned as he attacked the food pretty fast. No milk given, just water. There was a little bright blood in the stool last night but none since. He has had rescue remedy but no homeopathic remedy as yet. We may get away without one.
I had thought about aconite but there is absolutely no fear or nervousness. Arnica is a thought though. We will try him on dried kitty food (he has previously had canned) and see what happens.
