My kitten spits up daily. Is 2.9 lbs normal weight for a kitten?

Kittens gain about 500 grams per month. So, at 4 months of age, she should be around 2kg. Feed her a good quality canned kitten food. Have her examined by your vet and submit a stool sample to rule out intestinal parasites.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Voldy is around 3lbs which is not completely out of the ordinary for a 4 month kitten. From the pictures alone, he appears well muscled and does not appear to be underweight (although a physical exam would be better at determining this). Kittens should weigh about 5 pounds at 6 months old, so I would continue feeding him a kitten food from Royal Canin and make sure he gets a kitten vitamin daily to encourage healthy growth. If you notice Voldy is not gaining any more weight or is eating less, you may want to have him seen by his veterinarian for exam just to make sure there are no underlying medical issues. I hope this helps!

I cannot tell you when his exact birthday is. All I can tell you is that most kittens we guess age by their weight. So, at 2 pounds they are about 2 months old. At 3 pounds, about 3 months old. So I would guess at about 2.6 pounds he should be about 11 weeks or so. He sounds normal.

If she just scarfs food, switching to wet food that doesn't need to be chewed as much or moistening her dry food to make it softer may help her to keep more of it down if she isn't wanting to chew it. If she doesn't want to chew, there is also a possibility that there is something wrong with her teeth or jaw which is making chewing painful. If she is vomiting after every meal I would be concerned that there is a functional problem going on (such as megaesophagus), parasites, or other illness. I would highly recommend bringing Rue into the vet for a complete exam, bloodwork and even a possible X-ray to try and rule out any underlying health issues that are causing this, as this is not normal for a kitten to be vomiting after eating, and it sounds like if she is underweight and acting hungry she isn't getting the nutrition she needs.

I would recommend taking Pippa to the vet. IT is not normal for a kitten to vomiting. They can have hair balls but that should not be happening this often. It is possible that Pippa has parasites which can cause vomiting but also diarrhea. I think with all young animals it is best for them to have a good physical exam to help determine the cause for vomiting and provide proper treatment

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A cat's weight depends on their breed, but approximately 8 lbs is a relatively normal weight for domestic shorthaired kittens. Toby should have good musculature, without any bones showing through, but you should be able to feel his spine if you press gently on his back.

This is about normal for a kitten this age. However, different cat food brands have different nutrient profiles, so it's best to feed according to the manufacturer's directions. Each food will have a recommended daily feeding amount on the packaging. You can check this as a good guide to see if she is eating more or less than she should. I hope that helps and all is well with Anika.
