My kitten has no control of his bowel movements?

It could be a parasite problem or some type of infection. You should take a stool sample to the vet so they can evaluate the situation and give you the proper meds. In the mean time, you need to make sure the kitten stays well hydrated. Kittens can de-hydrate very quickly.





I am assuming you mean the kitty has diarrhea?My kitten has no control of his bowel movements?
How old is the kitten?





Very young kittens say under 4 weeks old won't have bowel control yet. 4 weeks and older, they start learning.





It could be a litter box problem- the box is so far away that the kitten can't reach it in time.





If you haven't done so yet, the kitten needs to go to the vet. This is especially true if this a new kitten, or a found kitten. The kitten might be very sick, have worms. Anytime a cat starts deficating or urinating outside the litter box needs to be taken to a ver right away.My kitten has no control of his bowel movements?
If it is a young kitten, do you put it in the litter box shortly after it has eaten? Try confining it to the bathroom with its food in one area and the litter box well away from it. Play with it and pay attention to it. When it begins to sniff out an area or squats, put it in the litter box. Praise it for using the box.





If the kitten has diarrhea, take it to a vet ASAP.
