Hi there. He could have eaten something that irritated his GI tract, or it is possible he has an intestinal parasite. Fecal tests are only about 80% accurate, so even if he has tested negative I would recommend having another sample tested. If he won’t eat or continues to vomit tomorrow then he should be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Kittens can become dehydrated very quickly. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon.

I would take Tanani to the vet as soon as possible. Blood in vomit is never normal. Possible causes of vomiting include GI foreign body or blockage, ingestion of a toxin, bleeding or clotting disorder, bacterial or viral infection, intestinal parasites, etc. After examination and a discussion of her medical history, a vet may recommend bloodwork, viral testing, intestinal parasite screening, or x-rays to try to determine the cause of the bloody vomit.

Hi Janet. I would be very concerned she could have a post-partum complication such as an infection causing her symptoms. I'm also concerned that the red color of her vomit could be due to blood. She needs to see a vet immediately. Please take her and her kittens into a vet now. Best of luck.
