My kitten is vomiting, has diarrhea, and a bloated belly after eating.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 10 days old

I have a kitten, born on the 29th of July and I brought him home at 9 weeks old. He had diarrhea so I took him to the vet 4 days ago, he was given a wormer and probiotics and out on a diet of boiled chicken, today I began the process to slowly mix his normal food back in. His belly seemed very big but he was full of energy. He had another small diarrhoea earlier and has just now vomited what looks like everything he ate today and then more diarrhoea. His belly is small again. What do I do?

Thank you for reaching out to Pet Coach about your Kitty. It sounds like the event that just happened with the vomit was from too much food. I presume your Kitty had a little food bloat - too much food for the stomach to handle. I would recommend to feed her half of the amount that you did. Small, frequent meals are more easily handled and digested with little kittens. Best of luck with your Kitty.
