I bathed my cat two days ago; about three hours later it started vomiting yellow, sticky fluid, then had diarrhea, then vomited white transparent foam twice. It is anorexic. Today it vomited white foam again, then yellow with black hair. Still won’t eat. The cat had all three vaccine shots and energy is okay, plays with the teaser.
Two days of vomiting suggests acute gastroenteritis, blockage, or hairballs. Stop feeding during severe vomiting; energy is OK so infection is unlikely, but see a vet soon to avoid worsening.
What Happens If a Cat Is Bathed Too Often?
Over-bathing strips natural oils, damaging the skin barrier and causing itch, dryness, dandruff, redness and hair loss, even skin disease. Frequent baths also stress cats, causing withdrawal or depression. Bathe every 3-6 months.
I found this cat and had it bathed at a pet shop; the owner said it’s a golden tiger cat but it doesn’t look like one to me — what cat is it?
The photo shows a Chinese Li Hua (tabby) cat, not a golden tiger. Golden tigers are golden/orange with black tiger stripes and round flat faces. This one just has unusual markings.
What happens if I bathe my cat?
Cats groom daily but still need baths; long without one lets dirt, oil, or parasites cause skin disease. Use cat shampoo and water about 40 C, gentle to avoid fright. After, dry and fully blow-dry the coat to avoid chills and colds.
I bathed the cat at home a while ago, then noticed yellow nasal discharge with bad breath, but it eats, drinks, runs, and jumps normally. Is this a cold or rhinotracheitis?
From the symptoms it's likely just a chill and cold. Try pet cold and anti-inflammatory medicine, keep it warm, and supplement vitamins, protein, and lysine. If fever or eye redness appears, consider rhinotracheitis or calicivirus and see a vet.
My three-month-old cat had a severe vaccine allergy before and I don’t plan to vaccinate it anymore, but it has sneezed several times a day since 50 days old, though everything else is fine. When can I bathe it? It’s been half a month since the allergy.
Bathing an unvaccinated, previously allergy-prone cat risks lowered immunity and illness, so vaccinate first if possible by identifying the allergen. Chronic sneezing may signal rhinitis or cat flu; get it checked before bathing.
How long after deworming can a cat be bathed?
Bathe a cat about a week after deworming. Internal medicine irritates the gut, and external medicine works through skin oil that bathing washes away, so wait a week to avoid failure.
How often should a British Blue cat be bathed?
Like most cats, a British Blue is clean and needs a bath about monthly, by circumstance. Bathe sooner if very dirty or smelly; use cat shampoo, not human, to protect coat and skin.
How long after a cat’s external deworming can it be bathed?
A cat should not be bathed until 3 days after external deworming. The medicine spreads through the skin's sebaceous glands over 2-3 days, and bathing too soon washes it away and weakens the effect.
How long after moving should a cat be bathed?
It is best to bathe a cat about a week after moving into a new home, once it has adapted. Bathing while it is still stressed can be harmful; comfort it with familiar items and probiotics if it shows signs of distress.
