What should I do if my kitten vomits and won’t eat?

Recently, pet health issues have become one of the hot topics on the Internet, especially kittens' vomiting and loss of appetite, which have attracted widespread attention. This article will provide structured solutions for poop shovelers from four aspects: cause analysis, symptom judgment, emergency treatment and preventive measures.

1. Analysis of common causes

2. Judgment of symptom grading

3. Emergency handling steps

1.Fasting treatment:Stop feeding for 4-6 hours and keep drinking water

2.Supplement electrolytes:Use pet-specific electrolyte water (5ml per kilogram of body weight/time)

3.Moderate diet:Feed chicken puree (boneless and skinless) or prescription canned food during the recovery period

4.Symptom record:The characteristics, frequency and accompanying symptoms of vomitus need to be recorded in detail

4. Guidelines for Preventive Measures

5. Medical Treatment Preparation Checklist

When you need medical treatment, it is recommended to bring the following items:

- Recent vomit photos/videos

- Daily food record sheet

- Past medical records

- Portable cat bag + thermal blanket

According to pet hospital data, about 78% of cats who receive medical treatment in time can recover within 3-5 days of treatment. However, it should be noted that when young cats (<6 months old) develop vomiting symptoms, the mortality rate can be three times that of adult cats, so special attention should be paid.

Final reminder: Anti-vomiting remedies (such as feeding milk, human drugs, etc.) circulated on the Internet have safety risks. It is recommended to handle them scientifically under the guidance of a veterinarian. Regular physical examinations for cats (recommended 1-2 times a year) can effectively reduce the incidence of digestive tract diseases.
