Hey guys,

I just got a new kitten at 11 weeks.. He is 12 weeks now. But the last few days he has been having diarrhea and then vomiting immediately after going (he isn't vomiting any other time, so I suspect it's not due to the food..)

The first time he threw up I found a small piece of plastic (the end of a zip tie) that he had managed to bite off and swallow.. I assume that's what triggered this. But I find it odd that he is still vomiting, and only after he poops. Also don't know why he has diarrhea. :( Been feeding him plain cooked chicken with some high quality wet food (bozita and animonda carny)

Any advice?

It sounds to me like he might have a blockage. Sometimes diarrhea comes out around a mass. Vomiting after straining to poop is common. Can you get him to a vet? I think this may be urgent.

Seeing as he threw up the plastic bit though, what could be causing a blockage?
