    I fed my kitten a bit of dry food and now her heart is beating fast
    Hi!

    I tried feeding my 1 month old kitten a little bit of dry food for 1month old kittens, I put 6 on my hand and she ate like 5 of them then she spit it 3 of them.. now her hearbeat is going really fast though she seems to be okay playing with her brother. What should I do?

    I doubt it was the food. Most likely, it's from playing with her brother. Kittens at that age will taste just about anything. Eating a couple pieces of food isn't going to hurt them.

    Just keep an eye on her, and check her heartbeat when she's sleeping. Keep in mind, though, that babies (of all species) have faster heartbeats than the adults.

    If you need to feed the kitten dry food try putting warm water on the dry food to make the kibble softer and easier to swallow. She should be all right but keep any eye on her.
