Why does a kitten foam at the mouth?

Kittens frothing may be vomiting hair balls, or they may have eaten something bad. Parasites in the intestines and stomach can also cause kittens to foam. Gastrointestinal diseases usually cause this situation in kittens. It is best for parents to observe the kitten's condition. If it shows symptoms such as listlessness, unwillingness to eat or drink, and is unwilling to move, it is probably sick. We need to take it to the hospital for treatment in time.

Tip:

Healthy cats are full of energy and lively. They can eat, drink and sleep. Parents also respond very quickly to playing with them. Cats will not have these symptoms.
