I got a new kitten, could it have wobbly kitten?

Hello, I recently have found a kitten and decided to keep it. It looks to be about seven weeks old and when we brought him home we fed him and all that but he threw up and had worms. We suspect they were round worms so we got him de-wormed and since he cant keep a meal down. Not to mention we think he might be something called a "Wobbly kitten". He walks forwards and has troubles, he falls and trips and he also does this nodding movement with his head when hes sleeping.. Do you think this kitten will get better and what should we do?

I agree with the others.  The kitten needs to be seen by a vet ASAP.  Growing babies need to be able to keep food down to grow up happy and healthy.

I agree with babygirlhawks. I would take this kitten back to your vet for further help. Tell the vet that the kitten is not keeping any meals down.
If the kitten is stumbling etc. there must be a reason. This kitty needs more help from the vet.  Seven weeks is of course less than 2 months.  Eve

Take him to a vet, the kitten might need some antibiotics or further help

Weaned a little young in my experience, so hopefully kitty will grow out of this.  Give him a little while longer and keep up the care.

Ask your vet for advice, too.  7 weeks is still a baby and he has a bunch of growing to do.
