Vomiting in a one-month-old kitten may be caused by indigestion, infection with feline distemper virus, infection with internal parasites, etc. It is recommended that the owner first use probiotics to properly regulate the gastrointestinal tract of the kitten, and then observe its mental state and appetite. If everything is normal and vomiting does not occur again, it may be vomiting caused by indigestion, and the owner does not need to worry too much. However, if there is no improvement and symptoms such as listlessness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and elevated body temperature occur, you need to take the kitten to the pet hospital immediately for examination and diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
