Why is my kitten still vomiting and not eating after vet care?

Question

Jasper has vomited sunday, monday, and tuesday now. We went to the vet on Tues morning and they gave me more deworming treatment and a high calorie food. They also suggested probiotics. We came home Tues he ate some of the new food with the probiotic. Several hours later he vomited partially digested food. He's been eating less since saturday. He meows at me like he is hungry and when I do try to give him food he isn't eating. Today he went in for xray, what do your suggestime is wrong?

It's possible there could be an underlying illness or functional issue causing it, especially if it is coming back up undigested. X-ray can help look for obstruction, while blood work may help find underlying illnesses or disease. If that doesn't find the issue, speaking with a specialist to look for functional problems such as the esophagus not working properly may help. If you just immediately switched to the new food without transitioning from the old, that can also sometimes cause digestive upset and vomiting, so it is best to transition the food slowly over a period of 7-9 days to avoid this. You can try a bland meal of some boiled chicken to see if it stays down, however continuing to work with your vet as you have is the best option.
