Why is my kitten vomiting orange liquid, pale gums, and lethargic?

Oh that does not sound good. Throwing up so much warrants an urgent visit to the veterinarian and some blood tests checking kidney and thyroid parameters. Pale gums could point to a blood disease. The signs are very unspecific, therefore blood tests are necessary to help with a diagnosis. Please schedule an appointment with your veterinarian tomorrow.

Pale gums and inappropriate dietary habits (commonly called Pica) are quite common in anemic states and this should be checked as soon as possible to find underlying cause. A blood test and urine analysis is needed in order to start investigating clinical suspicion of lower red blood cells. I would recommend an immediate check up, treatment and outcome will depend on the results of clinical examination and blood tests. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Judging from the pictures and description, I am concerned about an infection. I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at her for further testing to help determine what the problem is. She will likely need an antibiotic which your vet can prescribe and get her started on right away. I would also recommend testing her for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (felv/fiv testing). I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.

Hi! So sorry to hear that Paris is not feeling well. It sounds like Paris is anemic based on the color of her gums and the fact that she does not feel well which means that she is clinically affected. I recommend that you have Paris evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible to figure out what is wrong and start therapy for it. At the very least, she could have bloodwork done to see if she truly is anemic and go from there. Keeping my fingers crossed that evrything goes well!!

The color of gums can help us guess at the red blood cell level, but it is a poor guess. White gums would mean really, really sick, and pink gums don't tell us that a pet is healthy. Mello may have an upper respiratory infection, which most cases are viral. But they can hit the body hard and often the kittens need oral antibiotics, fluids, supplements like Lysine, nutritional support, etc. I would really recommend that you have him examined by the vet since this has been going on for a week and he isn't any better.

Hi there and thanks for posting on PetCoach! I am sorry to hear Queeny doesn't feel well. There is really no way to know for sure what Queeny's health issue may be without examining her and running some diagnostic testing (such as blood work, x-rays) on her first. The symptoms you have described (loss of appetite, vomiting, pale gums) are symptoms of a variety of illnesses Queeny's veterinarian can help diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is established, a treatment plan for Queeny can be established. There are no real home remedies for these types of symptoms and is best treated at a veterinarian's office. I have included a link below on ways to help afford veterinary services, as I realize paying for vet expenses can be a challenge. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html

Oh dear, poor Luna! It sounds as though she is extremely ill. In cats, parvovirus causes panleukopenia (aka feline distemper virus), which can be a life-threatening issue. Typically, vomiting, diarrhea, a loss of appetite, fever, and lethargy with extremely low white blood cells are found with panleukopenia. While it is still possible that Luna is affected by this virus, other possibilities such as blood loss anemia from fleas, exposure to anticoagulant rat poisons, blood clotting disorders, or bone marrow issues are also possible causes of her white gums. All of that said, white gums are a medical emergency because this indicates either a severe anemia (low red blood cell count) or extremely low blood pressure preventing blood from moving to the periphery of the body. At this point, I strongly recommend taking Luna to an emergency vet immediately for evaluation. I hope that all goes well!
