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 vomited several times, then stayed listless and very weak, with a changed cry. It lies down, no energy, and when it cries it goes ‘uh-uh’ and licks its mouth once.
Vomiting with weakness can be indigestion, gastroenteritis, obstruction, pancreatitis, or distemper. Try fasting, probiotics, and water to prevent dehydration; if no relief, see a vet. Unvaccinated cats are more likely infected, so treat promptly.
My 69-Day-Old Kitten, Home for 3-4 Days, Ate Fine the First Two Days, Then Since Last Night Hasn’t Eaten a Single Kibble but Drank Some Water
A kitten home 3 days not eating may be from new-environment stress or pickiness; if it won't even eat treat paste it may be sick. Start with active probiotics to repair the gut, cook chicken breast or favorite food to boost appetite. If it starts eating, offer fresh food. If it keeps not eating it will become malnourished or dehydrated - see vet. Many causes; observe, and if lethargic get a full checkup - new kittens may carry infectious disease or parasites.
My one-month-old kitten vomited white curd-like matter at 10am; after fasting a few hours I gave milk, then at 7pm it vomited yellow with yesterday’s food, plus diarrhea, formed stool, poor appetite but still energetic
A one-month kitten vomiting but lively may have feeding error, indigestion, spoiled formula, chill, or parasites. White curd vomit suggests undigested formula or food; fast half a day, give probiotics, keep a single diet in small meals, and watch two days. If vomiting continues, consider gastritis, infection, or parasites and see a vet.
The seller said my kitten could drink pure milk; I gave some, and now it has diarrhea for two days—what should I do?
The diarrhea is likely lactose intolerance from the milk. If the kitten is energetic, stop the milk (and high-protein food), fast half a day, and give an anti-diarrhea medication and probiotics; resume easy-to-digest food in small meals. If other signs appear, it may be parasites, enteritis, or distemper—see a vet.
My two-month-old kitten just came home and isn’t adapting; she barely touches her goat-milk formula and her recent stools are watery and bloody—what should I do?
Bloody diarrhea can come from gut infection, parasites, or viruses. If the kitten is energetic, a virus is less likely; hard-to-digest food or a sudden food change can cause it—give pet probiotics, and see a vet if no relief. Tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, or coccidia also cause it and need fecal testing and deworming.
I found a kitten about seven weeks old. I’ve fed it ‘wowo’ brand cat food for three weeks, but since last night it has been retching and vomiting undigested kibble and some liquid, about 8-9 times; tonight it has no appetite and won’t drink, but is still playful, looks pale, and sometimes growls.
There are many reasons a kitten may vomit - it may be gastrointestinal symptoms from improper feeding or indigestible food, and if it hasn't been vaccinated or dewormed, parasitic or viral infection cannot be ruled out. Generally, if the kitten is in good spirits, you can first withhold food and water for observation, and during this period give it some pet probiotics and an acid-suppressing antiemetic such as Puoxidin or probiotics. But if the vomiting does not improve or tends to worsen, it is recommended to take the kitten to a veterinary hospital promptly for examination and treatment.
My newly rehomed kitten vomits after eating but stool stays normal—what’s wrong?
Vomiting with normal stool has many causes; here likely stress from the new environment plus varied food worsening gut upset. Adjust diet to one soft food in small frequent meals, give pet probiotics and anti-inflammatories, and watch 2 days; if no relief, see a vet for gut check.
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.
