Please don't try to make the kitten vomit following an advice you may find on the Internet. It may do more harm than good.

The best way to get advice is to call your vet, assuming you have a vet for your kitten's care. Or call the ASPCA Poison Control hotline for advice: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control  888-426-4435

Try to relax! No induced vomiting is necessary. Your kitten will most likely poop out the rubber tip and you'll never see it again. One of my kittens did that and it was fine. The tip will make its way through the system. It's things like string that get tangled inside and cause problems. At 4 months the kitten does not need a bottle anymore. Is your kitten acting fine?

You good advices above.  No vomiting.  My guess is their advice will be,  you can hope it goes out the natural way, and the kitten shall eat as much as it can to help things going.  Perhaps be given some suitable oil to get things going.

In Sweden he would probably get liquid paraffine - but this is possible to find in sweden.  Im not sure its so in USA.

So I hope the vet, and or this help telephone, will have good advices on what to give, to smoothen the intestines without danger.  They will of course know what is possible to get in USA.

Please tell us what they  adviced, and the outcome.

Yes she's fine.. already pooped the previous meal.. thank you so much for caring..:-)

I think we mistakingly wrote four months.. I think four weeks.. we rescued her two days ago.. she's doing well so far.   We are guessing her age.. her eyes are open and very active maybe 4 to 6 weeks old, maybe older.

Looks to be about 5-6 weeks old. No more bottles! Give her kitten chow, wet food, and kitten milk in dishes. She's big enough to eat on her own. She should be fine! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
