Xiaohei is a newborn kitten I just brought home the day before yesterday. He was energetic at first but wouldn’t eat (not even wet food); since last night he just sleeps, though he eliminates normally. Today we switched cat food and he ate ~20g but is still listless—what should I do?
A newly homed kitten being low-energy is common. With no clear symptoms, keep observing and check temperature. If it keeps refusing food with vomiting or diarrhea, it may be sick—see a vet for targeted treatment.
What happens if a kitten is exposed to wind/a draft?
Kittens have weak immunity; prolonged cold wind can cause a chill/cold—sneezing, runny nose, cough, fever, poor appetite, lethargy. Severe cases may lead to pneumonia or bronchitis. Abdominal chilling causes diarrhea/vomiting. Keep warm; see a vet if symptoms appear.
Kitten given lactose-free milk, then vomited clear fluid

My kitten ate one cold-relief capsule containing acetaminophen (24 mg); it seems fine now; how soon would poisoning appear?
Acetaminophen is highly toxic to cats and damages the liver. If ingested, take the cat to a vet for induced vomiting or gastric lavage. If the liver is already affected, IV fluids and liver support are needed. Even if no signs yet, keep monitoring.
Kitten vomited this morning, roughly this yellow fluid; it is an 8-month, 4 kg little blue cat

Kitten diagnosed with panleukopenia, mild diarrhea, no other symptoms; treat panleukopenia directly or diarrhea first
Treat panleukopenia directly; diarrhea is from the virus, needing monoclonal antibodies and interferon to control replication and boost immunity. Vet adds antibiotics/antidiarrheals. If eating, daily shots; if diarrhea/vomiting worsens or no eating, IV for nutrition and dehydration.
My kitten had ascites that improved, but now vomits after eating and will not defecate for 3 days – suspected bowel obstruction, what now?
Mild obstruction can be managed conservatively with stool-softening food or meds; if it still cannot pass stool, surgery may be needed. With vomiting and weight loss, give fluids and prompt care.
My kitten’s front leg and chin are swollen, its limbs are weak and it vomits – what’s wrong?
Swollen leg and chin with weakness and vomiting may be an allergic reaction or an injury. Check for wounds; see a vet and, if allergic, do desensitization and remove the trigger.
