My kitten has been vommiting over the day for 4-5 times and not eating anything. I can't figure out what's causing to him. One thing is that i can see some rodents at night travelling around my house. Is it the problem causing my kitten to vomit? Thanks.

Hello. I'm sorry your kitten is having this issue. I doubt the rodents are causing the issue unless Whittey is eating them. Any vomiting that is happening that frequently is a big problem. He should definitely be examined by a vet as soon as possible. He could have parasites (worms) that is causing the problem. He could have eaten something that is stuck now in his intestinal tract which is very serious. He could have a food allergy/sensitivity. Whatever it is, he needs to be examined. A kitten can get dehydrated very easily with that much vomiting. I hope this helps. Best wishes. Dr. Amber
