My kitten hurt himself

nugget345 · Apr 6, 2015

Today my about 6 week old kitten jumped up onto my dvd player and fell off onto his back and the dvd player came down onto his stomach. He ran to me and I picked him up he seemed ok but then a few minutes later vomited up cat food twice, no blood, he laid there for awhile but then started playing again for a bit but he's very tired right now. I'm very worried because the nearest get is an hour away and doesn't open tomorrow morning.

Oh I am sorry your baby had an accident . It does sound like it could be serious . I would suggest getting to an Emergency Vet as soon as possible to make sure there are not internal injuries from the DVD player falling on his stomach ..

You have to monitor for internal injuries, white gums, bloated stomach, blood in the stool, urine or vomit. If he sleeps,that is OK, he is injured and needs his rest, but if he is difficult to wake up, there might be problems. 6 weeks old is very tiny and delicate, for something to fall on him from a height is very dangerous, a vet should see him as soon as possible, especially if he gets worse. I'll pray for the little guy, please keep us posted.
