My kitten is throwing up after eating and won't eat. What's wrong?

Question

Milo is about 14wks. He started throwing up after eating beef flavored kitten/adult food. He's lying down more but when offered play he will play like normal. He's refusing food. Drank some water. He had on a flesh collar for about 10 days. I removed it this morning out of fear it was poisoning him. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 3 lbs

Por Milo! It could be that the kitten food upset his stomach causing the vomiting. I recommend feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he refuse to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck.
