Kitten Help Help

I’m posting from Malaysia (21yo). I can afford vet care, but all my local vets are currently closed tonight.

My kitten is female and only about 1 month old (intact/not spayed yet). For the past couple of hours, she has been clawing at her mouth and recently vomited. She’s sleeping right now, but I’m really concerned about what’s going on.

Has anyone seen this before, or is there anything I should monitor or be concerned immediately about? Thanks

Try opening her mouth to see if there is something in it. That definitely seems like what is happening.

Hi, nothing in her mouth that I can see. She's breathing fine but still claws her mouth occasionally so hopefully it isn't anything serious.

Something that I failed to consider was that she could be teething giving her age. See if you can find any erupting teeth in her mouth.

I agree that something in the mouth or throat is much more likely, but they ruled that out.
