My 7 month old male kitten got into the cabinet and ate a large portion of his Iams dry kitten food, a little bit of Iams adult dry cat food and almost a whole package of cat treats. He has been puking it up since about 7 pm and it hasn't not subsided. He has used the litter box but acts extremely tired and unlike himself. What should I do?

Oh poor Phoenix! Given that he is still vomiting without it stopping, it's time to see emergency care. He will need a shot to stop the vomit, which the vet can give him. I would take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Pillsbury! I do not think the lethargy and vomiting is due to the Revolution. Causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections (possibly from new kitten), dietary indiscretion (ate some of the kitten food?), ate something that is stuck, pancreatitis, food allergy/intolerance. I am glad he ate for you. I would watch him for the next 24 hours. If he continues to vomit or not eating then he should be seen tomorrow or Friday by your Vet. I wish you all the best!
