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.
Please help my kitten — suddenly can’t poop, hiding under the bed, weak, and crying like a chicken every few minutes (no vomiting, no diarrhea)
Based on your description, it is difficult to determine exactly what illness your cat has, so a full veterinary examination should be done as soon as possible. A cat's distress crying is usually a sign of severe pain, so do not keep observing at home as that may delay treatment. If constipation is the cause, offer warm water and fiber-rich food, but the problem could be more serious than simple constipation.
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.
50-day kitten, just home, slept, then vomited and had diarrhea, ate little; at the seller it ate; back home won’t eat, vomited undigested kibble and diarrhea; panleukopenia test one line
A new environment can cause stress vomiting and diarrhea, which usually eases as the cat adapts. Use the old food to test appetite; one line on the test means no panleukopenia.
One-month-old kitten, eye inflammation and swelling since second day home, not eating
A young kitten's eye inflammation and swelling are mainly from irritants, conjunctivitis, or keratitis; with a runny nose, viral complications are possible. Try pet eye drops.
How can you tell if a kitten has a high temperature?
A kitten's normal temperature is 37.5C to 39.2C. If its temperature exceeds 39.5C, it is generally considered elevated or feverish.
I brought a kitten home the day before yesterday; it had no symptoms but vomited at night
Cats in a new environment often get stress vomiting/diarrhea; give a comfy space to adjust. Watch for other symptoms; if none, usually fine. Let it be alone for security. Check diet—feed its old food, then slowly change.
What happens if you force-hold a kitten?
Force-holding a kitten can cause fear, struggling, scratching, or even incontinence, and may damage its trust in people. Respect the cat's wishes to protect its well-being.
My kitten switched food abruptly with no transition, ate a lot, then had diarrhea; I bathed it, and next day it was lethargic, dry-nosed, and refusing food, now vomiting but stools normal.
Food changes must be gradual; a sudden large amount causes gut upset with diarrhea and vomiting. This is likely stress from the switch plus the bath. Stop the new food, return to soaked old food, add probiotics. If vomiting continues, fast 6 to 8 hours with glucose electrolyte water, then pet anti-vomit medicine and antibiotics; if it stops, slowly return to soaked food; if it continues, see a vet.
What happens if a kitten eats too much?
Kittens have small stomachs and weak digestion; overeating causes vomiting, bloating, pain, and diarrhea. Long-term overfeeding causes obesity and raises risks of diabetes, joint, and heart issues. Excess food also speeds growth, stressing bones and joints.
