Two 11 month old kittens and they have been throwing up their food a lot and scratching

 

Cat Question: I have two 11 month old kittens and they have been throwing up their food a lot. I have tried other foods nothing works. Right now they are eating purina kitten chow but they are still throwing up. Recently we had a problem with fleas in our home, could this have anything to do with it maybe? or maybe because our windows sometimes get mold in them and the kittens sleep in the windows? do u have anything we can try or any advice please? They are also clawing themselves up when they scratch themselves and they have tons of scabs all over their body, what can we do to help them?

 

Hi Felicia,

It definetly sounds like fleas to me.  I would treat them again and make sure you treat your carpet too.  You could put Frontline on your cat and buy something from Petsmart to treat the carpet.

Fleas can carry intestinal parasites which might be why they are vomiting.

I would see your vet if the flea treatment does not work.
