We just got a 4 week old kitten today. When we were bottle feeding him he seems to have bit off the nub of the bottle and we don’t know if what to do or if we should try to get him to throw it up.

Hello and thank you for contacting PetCoach. Such a small and soft piece of plastic will most likely not cause any harm. You should just monitor Miso for the next 24-48hrs at home, he should pass the nub with his faeces. However, if he starts to vomit or refusing to take his food, you will need to take him to your local vets. If he is 4 weeks old, you should also try to feed him wet food mixed with warm water or milk. He should be able to eat solid food at this age.
