Kitten suddenly vomiting, low spirits, throws up even after eating cat strips—what to do?
Vomiting may come from hairballs, internal parasites, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis or panleukopenia. If otherwise normal with hair in vomit, try hairball paste. If no improvement, withhold food and water half a day, then give pet anti-inflammatory and an anti-vomit drug; after relief feed small frequent bland meals with probiotics. If still poor and unvaccinated, see a vet.
What happens if a kitten eats too much hairball paste?
Too much hairball paste can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain. The paste lubricates the gut to pass hair and is safe in moderation, but excess causes vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite and eating difficulty. Sugars or additives may cause indigestion. Offer easily digested food and pet probiotics to soothe the stomach.
What Happens If You Switch a Kitten’s Food Abruptly?
Sudden food changes can cause indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting and poor appetite as the gut flora adjusts. Use a 7-day gradual transition and add probiotics to ease the change.
What Happens If a Kitten Overeats?
Overeating can cause indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting; severe cases dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, even pancreatitis. Control food by weight, feed small frequent meals. If symptoms appear, give probiotics; severe cases need a vet.
My 3.5-month kitten has had panleukopenia for 8 days, is eating and active but has diarrhea — will it recover?
By day 8 a kitten with panleukopenia has usually passed the danger period, and diarrhea can likely be resolved with diet and medication. The gut flora is disrupted by the virus and antibiotics, needing probiotics. Feed intestinal prescription food and monitor.
New kitten ate fine, then suddenly stopped eating and vomited; tests ruled out panleukopenia; fed with boiling water; given two shots and two meds; ate yesterday and this morning, then refused food this afternoon, only nutrient paste
Eating only nutrient paste may be disease-related appetite loss or pickiness; the prior vomiting suggests unsettled stomach, usually recovering in 5-7 days. Offer prescription cans and probiotics; if no eating for 2-3 days, get nutrient IV.
What happens after a kitten is dewormed?
A dewormed kitten usually has no reaction, but irritating medicine may cause mild diarrhea, vomiting, poor appetite or lethargy. Many internal parasites can also show as soft stool with worms, which is normal; give probiotics.
A two-month-old kitten was given yogurt yesterday, then today refuses kibble, foams at the mouth and has bad breath.
Yogurt is generally not recommended for cats and easily irritates a weak kitten's gut; too much cold yogurt can cause enteritis. The bad breath may also be from teething or stomatitis.
A kitten under a month suddenly has diarrhea
Diarrhea in a sub-month kitten may be bacterial, dietary, chilled or parasitic; get a fecal test. Feed breast milk in small frequent meals, fast a day if repeated, and use probiotics; no cow's milk.
My two-month-old kitten got its first vaccine on the 15th, then had two episodes of coughing or labored breathing; since then it eats very little and threw up yellow liquid once. What is wrong?
After vaccination a kitten's immunity drops and mild stress reactions like low appetite, drowsiness and slight vomiting are normal for 1-2 days. Do not force-feed; if it refuses food for a week, see a vet.
