Why is my foster kitten vomiting pink liquid and having diarrhea?

Question

My foster kitten is puking and having the runs and the stuff he is vomiting looks IDENTICAL to his diarrhea;very liquidy and it is like a pastel pinkish orange color (color of pate he eats). I just gave him SQ LRS fluids for dehydration. He has seemed fine until today, hes always been quiet and may have some sort of deformity (it's like he has no neck). Hes never seemed typical kitten; always looks sad, little playing, but always eats and drinks and plays once in a while. What could this be? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 2 lbs

Poor kitty. Vomiting and diarrhea in a such a young kitty can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection in most cases. If kitty gets into things it can also be causaed by a foreign body ingestion. I would highly recommend taking this fur ball to your local vet for a thorough check up and medications to stop the vomtiing and potentially antibiotics may be needed.. The fluids should help keep him from getting too dehydrated in the meantime. I hope that your little one is able to make a full and speedy recovery. Best wishes and take care.
