Kittens who are weaned: Add Pro Pectalin tablet (crushed) to food if stools are loose. 1 tablet per 20 pounds
Cats and Kittens: Diagel (1 or 2 doses) can be used if diarrhea present
Cats in the lounge: add Immuno Support to wet food for first week and after surgery

General Comments and Notes from Other Protocols for KITTENS in foster:
Start FVRCP at 6 weeks and give every 3-4 weeks until 18-20 weeks
Pyrantel Pamoate upon intake (4 weeks or older), then again every two weeks for three doses total
Ponazuril upon intake (4 weeks or older) and then again 1-2 weeks later
Selamectin/Revolution at 4 weeks or older
Praziquantel at 6 weeks then 2 weeks later
*Panacur is not used regularly in the protocols I found BUT can be used for 5 days if giardia is suspected or when loose stools aren’t firming up despite probiotics, etc.
