What's going on when a kitten throws up milk?

Kittens throwing up milk may be caused by overfeeding or eating too fast, incorrect feeding methods, parasite infections, or contagious diseases. It is recommended that owners first stop feeding their cats and observe whether the kitten still has vomiting symptoms and how many times they vomit. If the kitten's vomiting frequency is high, it is advised that the owner take the kitten to a pet hospital as soon as possible for inspection and diagnosis before treatment.

Eating too much or too fast

When a kitten eats too much or too fast at once, it can cause reflux and lead to vomiting. Therefore, it is recommended that owners use a small amount and multiple times feeding method and give the kitten a定量 daily diet.

Incorrect feeding method

Cats have delicate stomachs, especially when their gastrointestinal function is not yet developed in kittens. If the owner does not pay attention to the feeding method and dosage when feeding the kitten, giving the kitten cold milk or milk with an inappropriate concentration can stimulate the stomach and intestines, causing the kitten to vomit. Therefore, it is recommended to choose pet-specific goat milk powder for feeding.

Parasite infection

After a kitten is infected with internal parasites such as roundworms and coccidia, the parasites stimulate the stomach and intestines, causing the cat to vomit and have diarrhea. Sometimes even worm bodies can be found in the vomit and feces. In this case, the owner should consult a pet doctor in time and choose a low-toxic dewormer for the kitten.

Contagious diseases

Since kittens are young and have not completed their vaccinations, they are prone to contracting infectious diseases such as feline distemper and feline coronavirus, with typical symptoms being frequent vomiting. If the owner notices that the cat's spirit and appetite have been significantly affected, it is advised to go to the pet hospital as soon as possible to rule out infectious diseases.
