sick kitten

my kitten is 3 and a half month old hes hardly been eatin and was sick on tuesday 13/1112 he was fine yestday just still not eating much just little bits he was also sick again today 15/11/12 hes hardly having any poops or wee's  either can anybody help hes still his playfull self just not eating much and being sick i have rang the vets and the said not to worry to much

Ring them again.  He doesn't sound well.  Has he had any vet treatment?  Vaccinated?  Wormed?  Any coughs, sniffles or snuffles?

hes been sneezing hes been wormed and everything he just dont seem well hes asleep at the moment and the vets are shut again untill tomorrow just want him better 

As long as he's active, you're not too bad off. Are you treating him with antibiotics?

If he's not eating at all, it is possible to assist him with some intake, but that has its own risks.

he hasnt got any antibiotics hes keep coughin and being sick now any thing hes eating is coming back up the vets are shut now so wont be to take him untill the morning just want something to settle his stomach 

Oh I hope you can get some fluids into him. Kittens can dehydrate so quickly. If you call your vets office do they give you an emergency vet phone number to use when your reg vet is closed?

hes drinking plenty of water and starting to eat a little bit more  but just now i have noticed he has fleas i only treated him 2 weeks ago but a dogs been in the house so he could of only caught fleas of the dog can fleas make my little baby be sick hes going to the vets in the morning so going to treat him again tonight but woundering if that can be the cause 

What do you mean by "sick"?   Do you mean throwing up?  Diarrhea?  Or just not wanting to eat?

It's critical for kittens to each enough and get enough fluids as they can become dehydrated rather quickly.   If it was me, I'd make appt with the Vet to have kitten checked out.  

Does kitten go outside at all?

What kind of food do you feed?   Did you recently change to a different kind of food that maybe he doesn't care for?

Sometimes kittens end up chewing things or swallowing things they shouldn't, which can cause an obstruction inside their intestines -which can be very serious.   Usually if this happens you'll see that they don't want to eat, sometimes they'll throw up, sometimes they'll have diarrhea.   I myself recently rescued a kitten about 3 months old and after having her for a couple of weeks she started to throw up a few times a day and didn't want to eat which wasn't normal for her at all.  I feared she had eaten something she shouldn't have to took her to the Emerg Vet and had them do an xray of her belly and thankfully everything looked normal.  

Has your kitten been dewormed?  (with proper deworming medication that a Vet would prescribe, not the crap that they sell in stores which is generally useless and sometimes toxic to a kitten).   Worms can cause tummy upset and not wanting to eat.

I would get your kitten seen by the Vet if she's still not wanting to eat.    Could she be teething?  (losing baby teeth and permanent teeth coming in)   I think that can cause poor appetite as gums are sore......best then to feed soft canned food several times a day.
 

Good he is drinking and also eating a little now.  So just go to the vet when they open, make sure they give you visit time today..

Good luck!

If the dog comes in the house and the dog has fleas, the house will have flea eggs, larvae & pupae...

yeah hes drinkin plenty and eatin a tiny bit wet and try food i have put powder eveerywhere in the house so should be okay he was sick again twice through the night but hes playfull again this morning takin him to the vets now so hopefully he back bk to his self in no time 

keep him on the same food he loves felix kitten food and hes on dry whiskers hes never had a promblem eating them hes always been fine just 4 days ago he was sick hes going to vets soon so he should be back to normal shortly he was sick again through the night just want him back to normall he is normally really playfull he been playing the smorning but can tell by looking in his eyes he not well bless him hes been wormed but still going to tell vet just incase 

Is that a safe powder?  Pet shop products have a horrible habit of being unsafe and/or ineffective.  You also need to treat the dog of course.

But what do you mean by "sick again through the night"?   "Sick" means different things to different people.    Do you mean throwing up/vomiting?  Diarrhea?

I'm going to assume that by sick you mean throwing up? Honestly, I would think a diet change would be the best thing at this point. Dry food can often cause tummy upset in kitties. When my one year old female, Cookie, was a very small kitten, every time she was fed kibble she would throw up and have soft stool. The switch to wet food (and eventually commercial raw) really fixed this issue and Cookie never really throws up anymore at all, and her litterbox habits are always normal. Maybe (if it is an option financially) you could switch him to a higher quality food brand. These brands are usually found at specialty pet stores only, not grocery stores. Weruva is a fantastic wet food, and it is grain-free. Weruva was the wet food I had my cats on before switching to raw and they did splendidly on it.

he was throwing up hes being to the vets had an injection to stop that happing and hes got propa flea soloution got to starve him for the next 24 hours bless him hes hardly been eating to start with but on the bright side he should be back to his normall self in no time )

Why do you say you have to starve him for 24 hrs.? That isn't safe, especially for a kitten.

Yes,  I too did reacted to this mysterious Powder mentioned in bypassing somewhere..

If it is such a  substandard powder like many are, it could alone be more than enough of explanation for the cats ill being.

The only reasonably safe anti-flea powder I do know of is the Diatomeus Earth, of human food grade.

I agree, food should not be withheld from a kitten for 24 hours.  by all means limit his diet to boiled chicken and rice, which is soothing to an upset tummy but don't feed him nothing at all. 

I suggest you find another vet, first telling you not to worry about his illness, and now to not feed for 24 hours. Both times bad advice.
