my sick kitten

Question
hi, my 8 week old kitten has been vomiting and has been sleeping alot today.  he seems to not have any energy.  Im not sure if he has eaten something that didnt agree with his stomach or what.  I have been giving him some water through a syringe.  Please help me

Answer
Hi
unfortunately it is impossible to say what has caused this as many things can cause these symptoms. you are doing the right thing in making sure that he is well hydrated.

Give him another day or so, let him rest. Hopefully it is just a mild infection or virus which will pass. however if he is no better by Monday i would telephone your vets for advice and possibly an appointment. young kittens can be rather delicate and prone to illness.

I have several pages on my web site about kitten care which you may find of further interest and information here

i hope he is ok again soon
