My cat keeps throwing up?
Some cats have sensitive stomaches and will throw up more than normal. That said, this sounds like it's new and sudden which could indicate a problem. Have you changed her food or the way you feed her lately? Has anything changed in her life (new animals, babies, moved to a new house, etc)? I had a cat who threw up at least once a month. It was just the way he was. The vet knew about it, and we just made sure he looked good aside from the occasional barf pile. I have a cat currently, however, that started vomiting and acting withdrawn. We had a bunch of tests run on her and it turns out she has inflammation in her intestines. We think this is due to stress, and she on antibiotics and an easier to digest food. Short answer, you know your cat better than anybody else. If you think something is wrong, then keep pushing for answers. You're the cat's advocate.
My cat keeps throwing up after being spayed?
My cat got spayed on Tuesday morning and she seemed perfectly fine that night. She ate and drank water like normal. The second day she didn't eat or drink as much, which is what the vet told us would happen. Her pain medication started yesterday and she puked once after her morning dose. After she got the meds again last night, she hasn't stopped puking. She isn't eating and is barely drinking water (her gums are pretty white). When I hold some foods up to her (regular cat food, wet cat food, etc) she looks like she starts to gag. Her puke is just a white foamy liquid. It sometimes has a pinkish tint to it. My first thought was that it was blood, but it doesn't look red enough to be blood, if that makes sense. She lays around but feels well enough to play with her toys if you give them to her. Is this something that normally happens after getting spayed?
My cat keeps throwing up mucus?
There are a lot of reasons for this type of vomiting. First, what kind of food do you feed him? If dry, it could be a result of acid reflux from inadequate chewing -- the food in the stomach doesn't come up, but the acid in the esophagus does. You can try a little baking soda or Pepcid. Only a teeny tiny bit, as some cats can't tolerate Pepcid, but a little baking soda should be okay. And, surprisingly, so might a little apple cider vinegar down her throat (dilute 1-5, and just a few drops). Cats that develop gluten allergies will also react like this. Allergies to corn and wheat are not uncommon as a cat ages (My 17 and 18 year old have gluten allergies), so try to find a food that does not contain gluten and see how he fares. When I switched the two to non-allergenic food, the mucous vomiting dropped dramatically. Another possibility is a stuck hairball, but there would be hacking along with that. A little warm olive oil frequently resolves that problem. There are many reasons for vomiting, but this sounds esophageal, or upper stomach (acid reflux comes from the upper stomach). Hacking up mucous could also be the result of a lung or viral respiratory infection. The mucous from the cold/infection doesn't settle well int he stomach and is often vomited. However, being that your cat is doing this every several hours or so, this is not good for his stomach, his heart, or his esophagus, so you just might want to give the vet a jingle, or take him in.

My cat keeps throwing up ever since we got a puppy, what is wrong with her?
it could be nerves or she has gotten into the puppy food? are you giving the puppy wet food? maybe she was nibbling on some, she could have an allergy to it..... well it's hard to say also because of her age, I would recommend a vet, especially if she hasn't been in awhile and with a new animal in the house the puppy can bring things in that she - the kitty was not exposed to before. also remember even if your treating the puppy for fleas because he/she goes outside, they can still be carried in and get ont the cat even if the cat doesn't go outside and isn't being treated, also if you haven't taken the puppy to the vet I would recommend it, as if it has worms that is contagious to cats also... well I would say the vet...also the vomiting is it food? white foamy liquid? hairballs? monitor the cat eating and drinking and take notes, also check the litter box do you notice anything out of the ordinary? this is so you can give the vet some info. a simple stool sample into the vet will let you know if she has worms and will give you the meds to treat her with. also maybe if you have a shampoo the puppy had or anything the cat could be having some type of allergic reaction- possibly.... i would recommend a vet..... best of luck ..
How can I keep my cat from throwing up undigested food?
Some cats — and dogs, too — have trouble digesting food because of some problem with… well, I’m not sure exactly what.But the fix for this is having them eat in a nearly upright position, i.e. on their hind legs. That way, the food goes down into their tum tums in a more or less straight line.If you can put the bowl somewhere kitty would have to stand on his/her hind legs, supporting him/herself on the front legs in order to eat, that might help.ORand this is easier, but a little more time consuming:feed kitty dry food. One morsel at a time. By throwing it on the floor. (Make sure your floors are CLEAN.) I had a friend do this with his cat that had a throwing up undigested problem. It not only solved the problem, but got the cat additional exercise chasing the food.
Why does my cat keep throwing up after she eats her food?
Is she throwing up or just regurgitating her food?Regurgitation is pretty quick, within a couple of minutes and the whole lot comes back up, more or less looking the same as when it went down. Rescue cats do this a lot because they get used to having to eat really fast. If this is the case, stop feeding her so much in one go and don’t give it in a bowl. Spread her daily food into more frequent, smaller meals and spread it out on a large plate or tray so that she can’t shovel in huge mouthfuls. With regurgitation the cat will often look “surprised” and then try and eat it again.Being sick will involve partially digested food coming back up, perhaps with foam. It will not not look like biscuits or whatever you feed her, and the colour may have changed. If she is doing this and her behaviour has changed you need to take her to the vet and speed is of the essence. The cat will not try and eat it again.Regurgitation will not hurt your cat, but it won’t be pleasant for her, so try and adjust how you feed her.All cats throw up, as a cat owner you need to pay attention to what it looks like, what’s in it and what it smells like! Pay close attention to her behaviour, her eyes, her breath, and how she is sitting. Cats are very subtle creatures, especially when ill so you need to start recognising the signs.Good luck!
My grandma's young adult siamese cat keeps on throwing up his wet food. Anyone have any idea as to why?
Oriental cats can have very delicate stomachs. Try a good quality dry food or sensitivity pouches. Its not because he's eating the food too quickly is it? Try feeding less more often to see if that helps.
Why does my Persian cat keep throwing up? How can I prevent this?
Original Question: Why does my Persian cat keep throwing up? How can I prevent this?My Answer:My first piece of advice would be to have your cat fully examined by a veterinarian.Aside from that, all cats puke. There is no way you can 100% prevent it from happening.A big reason is that they clean themselves with their tongues, which means they ingest a lot of their own fur. It's not intentional, but nigh on impossible not to. It comes put both ends. (Note that I'm not including the hairless breed here.) If your kitty is particular about grooming, a not uncommon thing with cats, he or she may well be ingesting so much fur that it's interfering with their digestive tract. Being a Persian, you should be brushing it every day, which will help cut down on the upchuck. Conversely, many Persians a bit notorious about being distinctly lacking in the personal hygiene department. Brushing will also help in that department. Diet plays a huge role, and again, is something you should consult with your vet about. In addition to his prescription renal formula food, we also buy Medical cat treats for our old boy to help his furballs work through his system come out in the litterbox.Good luck. :-)
