As a pet owner, you are likely to experience vomiting in your cat. When you find that the cat is vomiting, take timely measures.
However, don't think about giving your cat any medicine, as it may be harmful to your cat, and some medicines may even be toxic.
First, understand why cats vomit.
1. Dietary problems If your cat eats something that is not suitable for its digestion, such as leftovers, human food, dairy products, chocolate, etc., it can easily lead to vomiting.
2. Stress or Discomfort Like other animals, cats can also show nausea or vomiting when they are under stress or discomfort in their living or environmental aspects.
This is more likely to occur especially in situations such as travel, migration, arrival of new pets, and illnesses of pet family members.
3. Diseases Vomiting in cats may also be a manifestation of disease.
Common causes of diseases include adenomas, bile duct blockage, gastrointestinal infection, gastric ulcer, gastroenteritis, etc.
Now, what should we do? First, let your cat relax.
If your cat gets sick due to stress, provide it with a quiet environment.
If your cat just ate food that is not suitable for it, then you cannot let it eat this food again.
If a cat lives with other pets, it can be left alone.
Secondly, only when a cat is in a condition can it be considered giving it medicine.
If your cat just occasionally vomits and has no other abnormal symptoms, then you don't need to give it advice on medication, just provide it with some warm water for it to drink.
Note that warm water should be warm rather than hot water, otherwise it may irritate the cat's stomach.
If you find that your cat is starting to vomit and develop other abnormal symptoms such as loss of appetite, poor mental state, highly active or lethargy, or blood from the gastrointestinal tract, you should find a pet doctor right away.
The doctor will confirm the diagnosis and prescribe the correct medication for your cat based on the cat's symptoms and test results.
If you think your cat needs emergency treatment, you can take it directly to the hospital emergency room.
Under the doctor's treatment, the cat will quickly recover from health.
Before giving your cat medicine, be sure to consult a doctor and use the medicine correctly according to the doctor's advice.
If you give your cat the wrong medication, it is likely to cause more serious health problems.
In short, when your cat starts to vomit, take measures in time and take correct medication according to the specific situation of the cat.
Finally, be a responsible pet owner, always care about your pet and provide it with a safe and healthy environment.
