A 5- to 6-month-old kitten ate raw chicken, vomited for half a week, and now will not eat or drink and throws up after eating.
Vomiting and appetite loss after eating raw chicken suggest gastritis from poor digestion or parasites. A vet check is best; at home, broad-spectrum antibiotics and gut-recovery meds may help.
How Does a Mother Cat’s Mastitis Affect Her Kittens?
Kittens may get too little milk from a sore, swollen breast, weakening immunity and growth. Vet care for the mother plus separate feeding with formula is advised.
Kitten Ate Leftover Fish and Bones, Then Stopped Eating and Thin with Abdominal Twitching
Weight loss with abdominal twitching likely indicates gastroenteritis from bacterial, viral or parasitic infection. See a vet for the cause; bacterial cases use antibiotics plus pet probiotics to regulate the gut.
My roughly two-month kitten, bought a week ago; the night before last at midnight it vomited once, a thin white worm like roundworm, then next afternoon vomited again without worm, just foam, then through the night vomited about ten times, sometimes yellow fluid, eating or drinking nothing, even milk vomited. What do I do?
White thin worms are likely roundworms; frequent vomiting with no food risks pancreatitis and fatty liver, so vet fluids first to correct electrolytes, then deworm. Use ivermectin/fenbendazole-based drugs plus antibiotics; give probiotics later. Do NOT give milk (lactose intolerance).
My Kitten Is Very Small, Dirty, Has Fleas, and Black Patches on Its Face, Especially Around the Eyes
Black patches around eyes = eye discharge mixed with dirt. With fleas and dirty eyes per photo, likely 'internal heat' or respiratory infection raising eye/nose discharge. First do external deworming at a vet and a basic skin/respiratory screening, treat the cause. If unable, and cat stable, try saline rinse plus anti-inflammatory eye drops 4-6x/day; severe infection - pet oral antibiotic 2x/day, with e-collar.
My kitten is badly injured; its hind-leg muscle is exposed and a bit pus-filled. What should I do?
Pus in a hind-leg wound needs prompt cleaning and disinfection, with antibacterial/antibiotic treatment. Clean out debris, rinse with peroxide, apply iodine to disinfect. Kitten may resist—use an Elizabethan collar. After cleaning, apply antibacterial meds to prevent infection and speed healing. Severe wound: some antibiotics. Add nutrition to heal faster.
My kitten arrived 8–9 days ago, sneezes with a little discharge but still eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps; today’s test found calicivirus, mycoplasma, and Bordetella—is he going to be okay?
If a kitten tests positive for calicivirus, mycoplasma, and Bordetella but only sneezes with slight discharge while still eating, drinking, and playing, it is generally not life-threatening. These are common upper-respiratory pathogens—calicivirus can cause runny nose, stomatitis, and conjunctivitis and may be carried for life, while Bordetella can cause cough and breathing trouble. Follow the vet's treatment and give a warm, dry, clean environment with good nutrition.
Two-month-old kitten with blood in stool, suspected cat litter ingestion, prolapse from diarrhea, vomiting; corona virus weakly positive at the clinic, diagnosed with gastroenteritis
Blood in the stool and vomiting in a young kitten call for ruling out panleukopenia and parasites. With weak corona positivity it may be corona virus enteritis or a foreign-body issue; follow the vet's plan.
Mother cat sneezes continuously with yellow nasal discharge and eye gunk the day after kittening
A nursing mother's sneezin, discharge and eye gunk may be post-birth low immunity causing respiratory infection or feline herpes/calicivirus. Isolate her from kittens (feed kittens formula) and use antibiotics and immune support; see a vet if no improvement.
An abandoned kitten I picked up had diarrhea at the rear; yesterday while bathing I squeezed a hard yellow lump from the urethra; today the urethra is swollen with yellow fluid.
The swollen urethra is likely infection from bacteria when you squeezed feces from it. Get a full check if possible. If not, clean with iodine or saline, give oral pet antibiotics, and use a cone while watching intake, urination, and spirits.
