Why is my kitten throwing up for 24 hours and sounding hoarse?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 7 days old | 1lb

My kitten has been puking and throwing up for the last 24hr, she is currently on a mixture of wet food and artificial cat milk... I started giving her water with a syringe because I thought he might be a bit dehydrated because I haven't seen her drink any water... I really just don't know what to do. Her meow is also hoarse.

Oh no, poor Boo! She could be vomiting due to a severe GI illness, intestinal parasites, or eating something rotten. When a young kitten has been vomiting for over 24 hours, it's time to see a vet immediately. The vet can diagnose what is causing her vomiting and how best to treat it. Please take Boo into a vet now.
