My 1-month-old sick kittens are vomiting. What should I feed them?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 12 days old | 0 lbs

Hello. My cat has had 3 kittens and at least 2 of them were vomiting. One vomited food, while the other vomited what seemed to be like human spit.(?) The one that vomited spit unfortunately passed away yesterday, but the other two are alive. These are the cat’s first kittens, all a month old, so should they be fed only their mother’s milk, or should we give them food like Whiskas? If we should give them food, can you please tell mr how much (in grams) and how often? Thank you

At this point if they are still vomiting you need to take them to the vet urgently, they will need a special food together with some mother's milk and they will need to be treated with antibiotics as well.
