So, on Thursday my 8 month old kitten threw up for the first time, came up with a little hairball and two pieces of what I've now identified as a piece from a toy that I've since removed and thrown away. These pieces were soft.
Friday he threw up twice, once coming up with another, larger hairball, food and more pieces from that devil toy, this time what roughly resembles short pieces of that glittery, stringy Christmas decoration (what's it called?). Took him and that hair/stuff to the vet. No temperature, belly felt normal, sent him home with digestive food and some medication.
After that he ate and kept down two portions of his normal food, pooped. But since Saturday, I don't think he's kept anything down, it's all coming back up, undigested. No more hairballs and no more toy pieces are coming up, just food and bile.
He's definitely hungry, he tries to lick his food and eats some treats, but then just chucks it back up. He's moderately active, but sleepy and clingy. As I'm typing he's laid down on my arm to sleep after chucking up what I think is the only thing he's eaten today, a couple of treats and a few bites of food. He's been sleeping deeper than usually, which makes sense, poor thing must be hungry and exhausted.
I was boiling him some chicken and broth to try, as he's not keeping the vet's food down (which i suspected, he's raw fed and they gave him some Hill's, which is so different). He won't touch his usual food now though.
I'm so worried, do I take him to the emergency vet? I will definitely be going tomorrow in any case.
