I found a stray kitten about a week ago; for two days it won’t eat or drink, won’t open its mouth even for milk, now near death. Possible causes: I bathed it once and fed it a fried chicken piece; kibble on the floor.
Stray cat may have carried viruses outdoors; adapting + bathing lowered immunity, triggering virus (panleukopenia, herpes). Or long-term malnutrition with hidden disease → hypoglycemia/shock. Situation is critical; refusing to eat may be a dying sign. Warm it, take to a vet immediately—only chance to save; self-treatment won't work.
My foundling orange kitten had normal stool first day on kibble, then diarrhea; only fed kibble and lactose-free milk, gave smecta and probiotics, improved, then relapsed after stopping smecta; no fever/vomit, eats/sleeps well but diarrhea; today a bit of blood.
Give pet probiotics for diarrhea; avoid dairy (even lactose-free). If no improvement plus blood, likely parasite-induced enteritis—get a fecal test first to identify the parasite, then choose dewormer (giardia/coccidia need specific drugs, common dewormers don't work; both cause persistent bloody diarrhea; also roundworm/tapeworm). Severe bleeding: oral anti-inflammatory. If blood/diarrhea with low appetite/fever/lethargy, check for panleukopenia.
Why is my cat having diarrhea and vomiting white foam?
Diarrhea and white-foam vomit may be from bacterial gastroenteritis, feline panleukopenia (distemper), or poisoning. Since symptoms persist for days, see a vet promptly. If vaccinated, panleukopenia can be ruled out. Pancreatitis or kidney failure may also cause this. Don't self-medicate; get professional diagnosis.
My cat’s stool was like mud, then diarrhea with mucus and blood—what disease is this?
Mud-like stool with mucus and blood likely means enteritis or parasite infection. First, bacterial or viral enteritis—if unvaccinated, panleukopenia risk is high, so get a test and blood work. Second, coccidia or Giardia damage the gut lining and cause bleeding; diagnose by fecal exam and abdominal ultrasound, then deworm and treat with anti-inflammatories.
My two-and-a-half-month-old kitten started vomiting frequently and is now lethargic
Frequent vomiting usually signals stomach upset from digestive disease; a young kitten vomiting with low spirits may have a serious illness. If it stays lively after vomiting you can try fasting and water restriction with probiotics, anti-inflammatories and anti-emetics at home; otherwise see a vet to find the cause. Causes include blockage, hairballs, parasites, indigestion and feline panleukopenia.
There are five young kittens just weaned; their mother is a neighbor’s cat but they’ve been in my yard since weaning. This afternoon my brother found a small orange cat lying down, listless, tail puffed and trembling; by evening it had died. I got home at night and found another small orange one foaming at the mouth. I tried to grab it for soapy-water induction but couldn’t catch it. What should I do, what could be the cause, and could it affect the other three tabby kittens? Thank you!! First photo is an older cat photo; the last two are the dead kitten.
In a shared litter, one dead and another foaming at the mouth suggests an infectious disease or poisoning from something eaten. Foaming can come from common digestive disease or poisoning — panleukopenia, enteritis, parasites, or food/drug poisoning. If others vomit, the most likely cause is food poisoning or contagious panleukopenia; all littermates are at risk. Separate them, watch closely, go to the vet, and disinfect the home; store toxins out of reach.
My cat vomited undigested kibble, then yellow fluid with white foam, now only white foam. What should I do?
Vomiting yellow fluid and white foam usually points to a digestive disease with many possible causes, so withhold food and water and see a vet for a confirmed diagnosis. Common causes include hairball gastritis, parasites, acute gastroenteritis, wrong food or poisoning, and panleukopenia.
I bought a cat on the 3rd and brought it home on the 8th; it hasn’t eaten or drunk for two days and is vomiting badly
Not eating or drinking for two days with vomiting may be stress from the move or illness such as infection or digestive issues; newly bought cats have a higher chance of carrying panleukopenia or parasites. Dehydration and gut damage are real risks, so vet care with fluids and anti-vomiting shots is best.
My kitten has abnormal stool—sticky paste with the rear protruding
The photo shows unformed stool with jelly-like intestinal mucosa, usually diarrhea from diet, indigestion, gastroenteritis, parasites or panleukopenia. If infrequent and alert, give probiotics and small frequent bland meals; if persistent, use intestinal anti-inflammatory/anti-diarrhea meds (bismuth carbonate, cefadroxil) 3-5 days, then deworm. If frequent with lethargy/vomiting, see a vet.
From the evening of 8/4 she vomited for the first time—whole kibble came out—then we fasted her; on 8/5 she drank a little water and ate little, I gave her a cat treat strip, then early 8/6 she vomited again and soon had diarrhea. She is in a new environment, unvaccinated and undewormed—what is wrong?
Frequent vomiting and diarrhea are usually gastrointestinal issues. Causes: 1) diet change or unsuitable food plus new-environment stress; 2) infection/parasites since unvaccinated/un-dewormed (roundworms, tapeworms); 3) infectious disease (panleukopenia, coronavirus). If alert, fast 12-24h and give probiotics/anti-diarrhea; if no relief, see a vet urgently given no vaccines/deworming.
