My new kitten is vomiting yellow bile and food. Is it stress or diet?

Question

I just got a new kitten yesterday. He is 2 months old up to date on shots. Got him from shelter. We have a 6 month old cat and 2 dogs. One dog is 10yr shizu and the other a year old half pit half rot. Today the kitten ate and drank but he is vomiting. At first a yellow bile. He ate a bit ago and threw all his food up. He did drink water afterwards. He has used the bathroom in litter when I place him in it. Is it due to stress? Environment change? Never being around dogs?

There are a few different reasons for a kitten vomiting and I'm giving a link to a short petcoach article that explains many of the common causes. Since you got him from the shelter, I'd assume he was already treated for parasites, so I wouldn't be too worried about that. The more likely causes are that he is eating too fast, too much, or is sensitive to a new food. You can help prevent these problems by only feeding a spoonful of food at a time. Make sure you are not feeding more than is recommended by the manufacturer of the food. You may also consider feeding a former diet or slowly switching to another one, if the first suggestions don't work. I hope that helps and Ozzy gets better soon. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.petcoach.co/amp/article/most-common-causes-of-vomiting-in-cats#ampshare=https://www.petcoach.co/article/most-common-causes-of-vomiting-in-cats
