She has been throwing up for two days white and foamy and now foamy and red/orange. Usually a cuddly cat but now cries when I pick her up and hides


Vomiting in a young kitten, particularly when it appears white and foamy, can indeed be concerning as it often points to an upset stomach or irritation. The shift to a red or orange color could indicate the presence of bile or even blood, which is more serious. Coupled with behavioral changes like crying when picked up and hiding, it suggests your kitten might be experiencing discomfort or pain.
At home, it's crucial to ensure she remains hydrated. You can offer her small amounts of water or a pet-safe electrolyte solution. It's best to withhold food for a few hours to allow her stomach to settle. When you do reintroduce food, start with a bland diet, such as boiled chicken or a special kitten formula, and offer it in small amounts.
However, given that the vomiting has persisted for two days and her behavior has changed, it's important to seek veterinary attention. This will help rule out any underlying issues like infections, parasites, or the ingestion of a foreign object. A veterinarian can provide the necessary treatment and care to help her recover.
