Hi all,
My 12 week only kitten Bruce was just diagnosed with gastritis and enteritis after a couple of days of vomiting after eating and diarrhea. He lost almost a full pound in less than a week, I feel so bad for him. Does anyone have experience with it? I am not sure what could have caused it. He was at the emergency vet for it not his regular, we follow up later in the week. A couple of ideas:

- He is indoor only but caught a mouse earlier this week. Didn't eat it but killed and played with it. The vet seemed to think it was unlikely he could have caught something from it and he had no fever, but could the mouse have been poisoned by a neighbor or carried a parasite?
- His diet hasn't changed but we did introduce treats recently to start training him. He got temptations, maybe it was too much for him?
