We have a 14 week old Kitten that we have had for about 2 weeks, he has thrown up a few times in the last 2 days and now has diahrea. He is still very playfull, but not eating alot but he is drinking. Also right before he threw up he made a real odd moaning sound. I can not say if the kids gave him any food or if he ate the dogs food. (I caught him eating the dogs food a few days ago)He is our first kitten and I do not want to be the goofy New mom calling the vet every day over nothing, but I want to do the right thing. I am inclined to see how he does tomorrow before I call the vet IP: Logged |

Did you change his food or anything lately? Sometimes those changes can give kittens a little diarrhea. If it has been going on two days it might be worms or something else. I would call the vet in the morning and ask him over the phone what he thinks. Sometimes things we don't think are serious turn out to be. I called once with what I thought was a mild problem, and the vet said to bring my cat in right away. It doesn't hurt to call, most vets are really good about it. IP: Logged |

Make sure he doesn't eat the dog food. I have read several times about how cats/kittens should never eat dog food. My kitten (now 6 months old) had diahrea for the first two weeks after I brought her home and wasn't eating much either. The vet recommended a mixture of white rice and boiled chicken, blended to the consistancy of baby food. I fed this to her for a week and her bowel movements became more solid. Has he had his shots and been de-wormed? IP: Logged |

Go ahead and be the goofy new mom who calls the vet every five mintues. Lord knows they are paid enough. You should have seen me with my first kitten. I called the vet in a panic the first time kitty started making that horrid coughing noise they do when trying to hack up a hairball. I thought he was choking to death or something. They didn't even laugh at me (very much).
