My kitten is throwing up, has bloody diarrhea, and not eating much.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 16 days old | 3 lbs

My kitten was healthy and at 13 weeks took him to the vet for first shots. Now he has been throwing up 1 or 2 times a day every 3-4 days,still rambunctious but not eating much. Tonight he ate some canned food and within an hour has started to throw up again, he also has a bit of bloody mucus and diarrhea in his stools. Can you tell me what might be wrong

It sounds as Pixie is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
