My two-month-old kitten is very thin with ongoing watery diarrhea and coughing, has a good appetite, and variable energy-what could cause this?
A thin kitten with persistent watery diarrhea and coughing may have digestive issues, parasites (roundworms, hookworms), viral infection (distemper), or upper-respiratory/cat-flu/calicivirus disease. Because symptoms persist, get a full exam: blood, fecal, X-ray, and respiratory PCR.
What medicine should a cat take for vomiting yellow liquid?
When a cat vomits yellow liquid, pet-specific antiemetics can relieve the symptom, but the underlying cause must be identified and treated. Gastritis, indigestion, or feline panleukopenia may all be responsible.
Fecal test for panleukopenia was negative yesterday, but since coming home the cat lost bowel control, keeps licking its rear with stool residue, and vomited kibble this morning though it ate and drank normally after
Loose stool, vomiting, incontinence, and rear-licking can be gastroenteritis, parasites, or anal-gland issues. Rule out viruses daily and see a vet for a gut check.
Kitten has no energy at all and will not eat or drink
A kitten with pus from the eyes, no appetite, and very low energy may have a serious infection. Eye inflammation, respiratory infection, or digestive disease are possible causes.
Vomited three times since around 9:50 and had one bout of diarrhea
Vomiting with diarrhea in a cat may indicate gastroenteritis or a viral disease such as feline panleukopenia. A veterinary exam for panleukopenia and parasites is recommended.
Precautions for Giving Cats Probiotics
Probiotics help balance a cat's gut and aid digestion, but they must be used correctly — never with antibiotics, never with hot water, and never human probiotics. Learn the key precautions before adding them to your cat's diet.
Cat Has Poor Appetite and Weak Limbs; Touching Its Belly Causes Visible Pain
Many causes for poor appetite with obvious abdominal pain; see a vet promptly. A cat in pain lies prone, arches its back, is listless, cries softly, and shies away from touch. Causes include enteritis, pancreatitis, peritonitis, intussusception, FIP, and intestinal tumors. Get checked.
Has not eaten for two or three days, keeps sleeping and will not get up, passes yellow water and is incontinent.
Yellow watery stool, lethargy and no eating may be feline distemper, parasites, poisoning or gastroenteritis; take the cat to the hospital for fluids promptly. The cat is critically dehydrated and incontinent, and without electrolyte fluids it may suffer organ failure or death.
What could cause a cat to refuse food (anorexia)?
Anorexia can come from poor feeding habits (too many snacks, spoiled food left out) or disease such as mouth ulcers, distemper, gastroenteritis, or other painful conditions. Observe carefully to find the cause and apply the right solution.
What should I do if my kitten won’t eat, is lethargic and vomiting?
A kitten that won't eat, is lethargic and vomits usually has a gut problem — bacterial or viral enteritis, or intestinal parasites. Take it to a vet to confirm the cause. First, if unvaccinated, test for feline distemper with a strip; distemper mimics gastroenteritis with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, appetite loss, fever and can be fatal in ~10 days without treatment. If no distemper, it's usually gastroenteritis or parasites — treat the symptom and use probiotics.
