my 2 mnths y/o kitten is sick , she throw up what she eats,sleeping all the day, not interested in playing.
I got her 5 days a go and I am so Paranoid with what I feed her -coz i have lost a cat due to stocmach obstruction-, 3 times a day and wet food, rarely dry.
she eats a little and throw it up even after 6 hrs, seems her stomach cant digest the food always.
how much should I be worried??? she sleeps like a dead!! all day long, and the weird thing she dont play or run!
HELP PLZ!!

contact the person you got her from and ask what they were feeding her on.. then stick to that.. changing a kittens food when they are so young can cause then to have tummy upsets and diarrhea you have to be so careful. any change has to be done very gradually.. at 2 months old they are only just weaned.. months milk gives some protection from disease but as soon as they are taken away from mum this wears off.. stress of a new home and being taken away from litter mates can also cause upset tummies..
check that she isn't getting dehydrated.. if you pinch the skin on the back or the neck it should go back down quickly.. if it stands up or goes down really slowly then kitty is dehydrate and will need to see a vet asap..at 8 weeks old she will need to see a vet anyway so that she can start her jabs.. a good time to have her health checked ..and routinely wormed.
kitten should be wormed at 2/ 5 Nada 8 weeks old..
kittens that age should be on two to three wet feeds a day and hard complete kitten food together with fresh water should be available 24 hours a day. do not feed your kitten milk as all cats are lactose intolerant and this will definitely upset her..
good luck

Kittens sleep alot. I quite have a youngster on the on the spot who sleeps lots of the time. whilst he's conscious in spite of the certainty that, he's a ball of skill. interior the journey that your kitten isn't playing and energetic whilst he's conscious, there's a project and he desires to pass to the vet. Kittens have vulnerable immune platforms so he might have an infection or something. Get him to the vet ASAP. waiting will purely supply him a risk to worsen.

take the kitten to the vet it could be many things including rabies (symptoms include loss of appetite vomiting change in mood) which could affect the whole family!!!!
