My 2-Month-Old Unvaccinated Kitten Vomited Food and Has Diarrhea After Milk and a Cat Treat – Why?
Vomiting undigested food and diarrhea are likely indigestion. A 2-month kitten has weak digestion and should not eat cat strips. Fast it, give probiotics, watch; after relief, feed the original food and transition diets gradually.
Kitten passes white sticky substance; was pale yellow then white – cause? What medicine? Urgent!
White sticky stool may be shed intestinal mucosa from enteritis (parasites, virus like panleukopenia/corona, acute bacterial gastroenteritis). Find cause; if can't visit, fast half a day, give pet anti-inflammatory and probiotics; if no improvement, see a vet.
My kitten, home two days (third day), only fed kibble and water but keeps having diarrhea, sometimes makes it to the box, sometimes not
Diarrhea may be from stress or diet change. Stress from a new home can cause diarrhea and vomiting; try probiotics and more security. Sudden diet change can also upset the gut. If not weaned, give goat milk and change diet gradually; if it persists with other signs, see a vet.
Kitten just brought home yesterday, has had diarrhea since; today day two, drank some goat milk powder and a gut supplement; this afternoon found it vomited; drinks water
A new kitten with ongoing diarrhea may be stressed. New environment or diet change easily causes stress with vomiting and diarrhea. Give pet probiotics and a quiet, comfortable space; it usually improves in 2 days. If vomiting and diarrhea continue, consider illness and see a vet.
Kitten under a week home, won’t eat, very active; came back to no food/drink and white foam vomit; fed a cat treat, vomited again
White foam vomiting has many causes; the photo shows pink-tinged foam, suggesting stomach injury or bleeding, perhaps from poor eating and indigestion or gastroenteritis. If newly home under a week and unvaccinated, test for feline panleukopenia to avoid missing a virus. For 1-2 vomits with fair spirits, give probiotics and anti-vomit/anti-inflammatory meds, fast briefly, and see a vet if no improvement.
I found a stray kitten about a month old; after meals it passes brown soft stools, is energetic and eats well.
Brown soft stools in a young cat may be enteritis—bacterial, stress-related, parasitic, or viral. Good spirits don't rule out a virus not yet full-blown. Get a CBC, biochemistry, fecal, and virus screening; if vet isn't handy, try amoxicillin, bismuth subcarbonate, and probiotics for two days.
Kitten recently eats very little and stools are very dry
The image is blurry, but poor appetite with dry stools may be hairballs, constipation, blockage, or a single diet, and can be an early sign of disease. Try cat grass and hairball paste first.
What happens if a kitten’s belly gets chilled?
A chilled kitten may get diarrhea, vomiting, poor appetite; long diarrhea can cause dehydration and low blood sugar. It may look dull, sleepy, slow, shiver, or 'done with life.' Keep it warm; for diarrhea give probiotics and anti-diarrhea meds, and see a vet if no improvement.
Why is my kitten’s belly especially big?
A big belly in a kitten may be caused by overeating, internal parasite infection, or feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). First, a kitten's organs are not yet mature and it has no sense of fullness, so overeating lets food pile up in the gut and bloat the belly; in this case, fast the kitten for a day and give some probiotics. Second, if the kitten is thin but has a large belly, it very likely has a heavy internal parasite load and needs prompt deworming. In addition, if the belly is swollen along with lethargy and poor appetite, and tapping the abdomen gives a clear fluid wave, it may be FIP and the kitten needs veterinary care promptly.
Two-month-old kitten has diarrhea and poor appetite; after Milbemax today it became sleepy with white sticky discharge
Diarrhea and poor appetite in a kitten can stem from indigestion, gastroenteritis, foreign objects, or food intolerance. A two-month-old's gut is fragile, so feed easily digestible food, fast half a day, and use probiotics; if it persists, see a vet.
