Sick Kitten

[wednes]

Clarence seems to be very sick. She has not been eating and has mostly just been laying around since the move. I expected both cats to take some time to adjust, but she seems to be losing wieght and keeps throwing up white or yellow foamy stuff in tiny amounts all over the place.

I can't really afford to take her to the vet, but I will if this keeps up. I just didn't want to spend my whole disability allotment on a vet bill.

Anyone know what might be causing this? Is it just stress of moving or could it be something more serious? How long should I wait before I take her to the vet? What can I do for her in the meantime? I'm giving her tuna in small amounts, which she seems to be eating a bit of. Other than that I don't know what to do for her.

Thanks for the info. Her temp is fine and she does not appear to be in any pain when walking or when touched. So I'm going to call the humane society tomorrow and see what they think.

Since eating a bit of tuna, she is already sitting up more and has come out from hiding. I hadn't thought about the salt in tuna, they just love it so much. But I think I'll ask the HS people about that too. I am really careful about not letting them have "people food" with that one exception.
