Sick cat?

Question
My cat gave birth to her 2nd litter of kittens 5 1/2 weeks ago.  Over the last week or so she has been vomiting and appears to be losing weight.  Not only has she been vomiting, but some of the kittens have been vomiting after drinking her milk.  This happened with her first litter too and it only lasted a week or so, but she didn't look as skinny as she does this time and it's been over a week now.  Is this normal?  Is there anything I can do, other than bring her to the vet?  Not that I don't want to bring her in, but can't really afford it.


Answer
You really do need a vet as it is possible they need some antibiotics.  Kittens do tend to get dehydrated very quickly if they are vomiting and do need more prompt help than adults.

Once on antibiotics I think you will see a very quick difference in them all.
