I'm feeling really worried and could use some advice. My 5-month-old Persian kitten, Mittens, has been vomiting this greenish, yellowish, and sometimes whitish fluid for the past three days, and I'm at a loss. We went to the vet, and they've done a CBC along with liver and kidney tests. The vet mentioned that there's some liver inflammation, but when I shared this in a cat group, someone pointed out that the test results suggest he's borderline anemic. I'm torn between trusting my vet and considering this other opinion—I just want to do what's best for my little guy. Has anyone else gone through something similar with their kitten? I'm open to any insights or advice you might have. Thank you in advance!
Hello! I'm sorry to hear about your kitten's situation. It's good that you've already taken some steps with a CBC and liver and kidney tests. Vomiting in kittens can have several causes, including liver inflammation, infections, dietary indiscretion, or gastrointestinal issues.
The green, yellow, and white fluids your kitten is vomiting often indicate bile, which can be a sign of an empty stomach or digestive upset. Liver inflammation could be contributing to this. If the vet mentioned liver inflammation, it’s important to follow up on that, as it can sometimes lead to symptoms like vomiting, lethargy, or decreased appetite. Borderline anemia could point to another underlying issue, like nutritional deficiencies or chronic illness.
For at-home care, ensure your kitten stays hydrated by providing plenty of fresh water. You might also consider feeding small, frequent meals of bland, easily digestible food.
Watch for signs such as continued vomiting, diarrhea, significant lethargy, refusal to eat or drink, or any yellowing of the skin or eyes, as these may indicate a serious problem requiring immediate veterinary attention.
I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss these symptoms and the test results further. This will give us a clearer picture and help determine the next steps for your kitten’s health.
