I rescued six kittens before they were weaned six months ago. Two of them have consistently had pale diarrhea and still do. (The others were fine & I have found homes for them.) The diarrhea is also uncontrollable and sometimes a little bloody. They otherwise seem to be healthy and are active. What could it be & how can I help them without a big vet bill? I have wormed them and given them Albon treatment in the past but nothing has worked.

You might find Flagyl will work to help clear this up or a big change in food to one that is easily digested.
Pale diarrhea may indicate a problem with pancreatic enzymes or gall bladder.

For a food change you might try California Natural Cat, Blue Buffalo Cat, Chicken Soup for the Cat, Natural Choice or Wellness alternative diets with rabbit or duck or venison.
One of those might work for you.
But if its an intestinal parasite or a pancreatic or gall bladder disorder you will need vet help.
Hope this helps you!
