From what it sounds like, it could be worms or an infection, but probably not life threatening.  She definitely should be seen by a Vet though, to be treated, especially if it's an infection, because she may need antibiotics, particularly being so young.  Is her poop also really stinky?

Hello there and welcome to TCS. No one here can tell you what is wrong with your kitten, it could be any number of things, but she is very young and if she is vomiting and pooping strangely then she needs a vet as soon as possible. Do not panic, kittens get infections, she may have worms, but most things can be easily treated by a proper vet. Do not try to worm her or deflea her at home as these things can often poison a kitten, and the vet will know what is the best thing for her. Good luck, take her to the vet and let us know how you get on.

There are many possibilities, from food poisoning (yes, it happens to cats, just like people) to some very severe infections.  It could be life-threatening, if it goes on for very long.  Just like human babies, young cats are prone to problems with their internal chemical balances if they vomit or have diarrhea for too long.  A quick visit to the vet is called for.

Has your brother change the food he has been feeding the kitten? This can cause stomach upsets..To be safe i think I would take the kitten in to see the vet if she is still vomiting

AWWW Heaven, Welcome to TCS hugs.gif It will be alright.... Your kitten probably needs a stool sample rather quickly. Probably worms if you have not dewormed the baby. I would really recommend you take the kitten to the vet. Kitten's very frequently become sick with colds, etc. Don't worry - your kitten just needs some medication - and does probably need to be dewormed..... vibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gifvibes.gif
