I have a 4 month old kitten that likes to go outside bc we have a full grown outside cat he's trying to bond with. When I got him he had mites bad!!!! However I think ear infection set in before mites were taken car of. One may even be ruptured due to the way he acts whe I clean that one. He has his good days and bad days. I lean more towards the holistic approach on things but I did use perception more meds. For infection I used duluted ACV & it would work for a few days then he would be show signs of not feeling well again. One ear he freaks a little when I clean or put the ACV mixture in so maybe it is ruptured. He would get better and playful but he jolts outside each time the door opens. Lately he's been vomiting here and there. Sometimes it's yellow liquid and sometimes undigested food and flem. I mix solid and soft. But when he doesn't feel good only soft. Last night I tried putting dry soft and cats milk into a food processor blender. I'm not sure he likes the texture. I'm out of work bc my brother is dying and my own medical problems so I can't afford a huge vet bill. If I had known all of this would happen I would not have gotten the kitten:( Any feedback would be greatly appropriated!!!

you can try calling your local vet and explain this. they may be able to help you over the phone. the most important thing is if it's infection it WILL need antibiotics. If you tell them all the symptoms they may have a low cost clinic they can refer to but the infection won't go away without prescription antibiiotics. Keep feeding and getting fluids into him. you can try feeding smaller meals more frequently to not have upset stomach from the larger meals.

If you can give me your county and state I can look to see if any of my cat rescue friends know of a low cost clinic. Eventually you will need to get fixed as well if he isn't fixed.
