What's going on when a kitten vomits?

Kitten vomiting may be caused by viral infectious diseases, foreign objects, parasites, and other reasons. It is recommended to check the cause of vomiting promptly and take symptomatic treatment according to the cause. If the kitten has not been vaccinated and is accompanied by fever, loss of appetite, and diarrhea, it is necessary to first consider whether the kitten has a viral infectious disease. It is necessary to regularly visit the vet for vaccines and deworming in daily life. The kitchen door should be closed properly to avoid the kitten eating anything inappropriate.

Firstly, kitten vomiting may be caused by viral infectious diseases, such as feline distemper. Kittens infected with the feline distemper virus may also experience severe vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased white blood cells. The incubation period is 2-9 days, and the clinical symptoms are mainly related to age and virus virulence. Kittens that recover from the disease can develop strong immunity, but they can shed the virus in their feces and urine long-term. When a kitten becomes ill, specific therapy for feline distemper, such as subcutaneous injection of feline distemper hyperimmune serum, should be administered immediately.

Secondly, kittens may vomit due to accidentally eating foreign objects. When a kitten eats a foreign object, it may refuse to eat and become listless. It is necessary to take the kitten to the pet hospital to check the location of the foreign object and determine the best solution to remove it. Kittens that constantly eat foreign objects may also be lacking in trace elements, which need to be supplemented in a timely manner. You can feed the kitten trace element tablets, nutritional creams, and vitamins.

Lastly, kitten vomiting may also be caused by parasites. usually, kittens infected with internal parasites may vomit, such as roundworms and tapeworms. In addition to vomiting symptoms, kittens infected with internal parasites will also experience diarrhea, indigestion, weight loss, and anemia. It is necessary to take the kitten to the pet hospital promptly for fecal examination to determine the type of parasite infection and then give symptomatic deworming treatment.
