Kitten Throwing Up

Hello, Me and my dad just came back from dinner and came home to a house full of throw up, We put him in my room with a big bowl of water, I'm sitting in here with him, We tried some new food today and he ate about 3/4 of the can, He has thrown up at least 7 times since I have been home, which has only been about an hour, I've had kittens before and I'm pretty sure that isn't normal, He's howling and crying I don't like seeing him like this, Does anybody have any help? We are taking him to the vet tomorrow btw.

Do you have a ER vet near by >?

How old is the kitten?

Has the kitten done a number 2 today?

The closest ER Vet is 48 minutes
The kitten is 10 weeks old
I'm pretty sure he has, I cleaned all the cat boxes about 6 hours ago and didn't really pay attention

Okay calling anyone with better writing skills...

you pinch the skin on the back of neck( ie where you do to scruff)... if the "tent " stay for more than a second your kitten is dehysrated and time to call the er vet

You were perfect sharky.


What was the new food?
Is your home kitten proofed? Check trash cans, check all the rooms - is anything at all missing or disturbed? Even check on top of the kitchen sink (I had one steal a copper scourer once!). Any house plants? Cleaners he could have gotten into or something you cleaned in the last 24 hours.

I think you should go ahead and call that ER vet or get ready to head that way. If you do not know what is causing the vomiting he could be very sick by the time your regular vet opens in the morning.
