Cats eating a single food for a long time have sensitive stomachs; sudden switching causes discomfort, gut flora imbalance, and diarrhea or vomiting. To avoid this, mix a little new food into the old and gradually increase the proportion.
My 4-month-old Corgi ate half an ibuprofen capsule—will it be harmed?

My cat ate chicken breast at noon, had diarrhea in the afternoon, then vomited at night—what’s going on? (3 months old, one vaccine shot less than a week ago)

I force-fed my kitten goat milk formula today and it vomited at night
Vomiting after force-feeding goat milk formula may be gut irritation or stress, and underlying gut disease like bacterial enteritis, gastritis, parasites, or panleukopenia can also cause it. If the kitten is energetic it is usually fine; give probiotics and acid-reducing medicine, but if vomiting persists or worsens, see a vet.
My dog has been home less than ten hours, vomits after drinking water, low energy, sleeps constantly
Vomiting, sleepiness, and low energy soon after arriving can be stress from the new environment (add probiotics, adapt in about a week), or from long transport (improves next day), or infectious disease and parasites — many sold dogs are sick. If vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and poor appetite persist, get tested for parvovirus, distemper, coronavirus, and parasites.
My cat was hit; what is going on, the local vet is closed, very urgent
After a cat is hit, check where it is hurt. For clear eye injury, dispersed pupils, or bleeding from the face, use antibacterial anti-inflammatory eye drops until the clinic opens; if next day shows eye blood clots, spots, or swelling from the blow, see a vet in the morning for eye exam. If the cat is otherwise normal without shaking, seizures, vomiting blood, diarrhea, or poor appetite, other organs are likely fine.
My dog vomited this
Vomiting undigested food with normal energy may be from overeating, indigestion, or gastrointestinal disease. Overeating easily causes indigestion and such vomiting; fast for a day and give probiotics or yeast-based medicine to aid gut movement. Gastroenteritis can also cause it, so if probiotics do not help, see a vet for targeted treatment.
