My kitten is vomiting a white Liquidy and sometimes it’s foamy he’s not eating dry or wet food and getting skinnier but he seems only eat the milk from his mom. Is this cause for concern?

Thank you for submitting your question Lamont. The signs you have described are not normal and concerning. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. The veterinarian will examine him and may recommend fecal tests. Intestinal infections are common causes of vomiting in young animals. Fluids may need to be given under the skin as he is likely dehydrated. In the meantime, it is fine for him to nurse to give him some fluid and nutrition. I hope this information helps!
