    My kittens are a little over 5 weeks now, they’re being weaned onto regular food after a visit to the vet that confirmed they were a little under weight and needed something with more nutrients. They’ve been doing well when it comes to eating the wet food, they need help being reminded that they have to eat from the plate but once I get them there they have no problem, today one of the kittens ate and then discovered how to lap up water! Which was exciting, but about an hour or so after- he threw up, the throw up is watery, slightly brown colored and has tiny bits of their wet food. I’ve heard that if a kitten throws up it’s usually not a good sign! I was in the room and am shocked I didn’t hear the noises of him throwing up but considering the color and bits of food throw is the most logical answer. What should I do?

    Since he discovered wet food and water, it’s possible he was full and then drank too much of the water. I wouldn’t worry about one time. If it continues every time, then call the vet.

    I believe this is too early to wean them. They wouldn’t be weaned from their mama until 8-10 weeks. So make the kits a gruel which is a mix of formula and wet food for another 2 weeks. You can feed them on the plate. After that you can switch to all wet food.
