My cat vomited white mucus this morning, ate a little food and probiotics, and the stool is unclear but was normal before vomiting
White mucus vomiting has many causes: poor digestion, food change, hunger, hairballs, foreign objects, bacterial or viral gastroenteritis. If alert and only vomiting once or twice, fast for a day then feed bland liquid food with probiotics; see a vet if it worsens with lethargy, diarrhea, or fever.
What medicine should a cat take for vomiting yellow liquid?
When a cat vomits yellow liquid, pet-specific antiemetics can relieve the symptom, but the underlying cause must be identified and treated. Gastritis, indigestion, or feline panleukopenia may all be responsible.
My cat is over four months old and not fat; for two days it only drinks water and won’t eat cat food—what could be the reason?
A cat not eating is usually physiological or pathological anorexia. Physiological happens in teething, heat, pregnancy, or pickiness—try tastier food like chicken or canned food. If it refuses even favorite meat, it is likely pathological, often with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or unsteady walking. Long refusal with other signs needs a vet check for mouth, gut, or infectious disease.
My cat has had diarrhea for days and its rear looks like this (photo); what’s wrong?
Long-term diarrhea can inflame the anus and infect the skin, even causing prolapse. Find the cause (bacterial, parasitic, or viral) at a vet and treat with meds and fluids.
Fecal test for panleukopenia was negative yesterday, but since coming home the cat lost bowel control, keeps licking its rear with stool residue, and vomited kibble this morning though it ate and drank normally after
Loose stool, vomiting, incontinence, and rear-licking can be gastroenteritis, parasites, or anal-gland issues. Rule out viruses daily and see a vet for a gut check.
Cat took a 5-hour car ride yesterday, ate and drank normally at the new home, then suddenly vomited yellow fluid at noon today
Vomiting yellow fluid after a long ride may be carsickness, stress, diet change, or gastroenteritis/panleukopenia. Fast briefly and see a vet if it persists.
My cat vomited and had diarrhea every day and then died; what happened?
Daily vomiting and diarrhea ending in death often means a bacterial, viral, or parasitic gut infection such as panleukopenia or acute gastroenteritis. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance follow without prompt care.
