Savannah Super Cat
Hello,
My new Savannah kitten (15 weeks old), fell into my daughter's bath with her tonight. He got very excited when he saw her in the tub and leapt up onto the tub and slipped right in. I was able to grab him and get him out, but I have no idea if he inhaled any water. He did snuffle and sneeze a few times after I got him out. I dried him off and gave him cuddles, but he sure complained about it for a while. About an hour later, I gave him a small amount of wet food and within about 15 minutes, he had thrown it up. I looked closely at the food he threw up and did not see any hairballs or any foreign matter. I have never seen him throw up before and we have had him for 9 days now. Should I be worried? Could he just be upset because of the slip into the tub? He's been quarantined in our bedroom/bathroom for a full week and we have just opened up our doors so he can explore one other bedroom and the bathroom on the floor we are on; I was pretty careful not to leave anything small on the floor that he might eat, but with my daughter's room, you never know if he might have found and eaten anything there.
He is sleeping beside me and I do not hear any rattling in his chest; he is not coughing or sneezing.
So here are things I am questioning:
Thanks in advance for the advice!

So here are things I am questioning:
- Is he just upset about the incident?
- Did he inhale water and that is that the issue?
- Did he manage to find and eat something he should not have in my daughter's room?
Thanks in advance for the advice!
