My cat had blood in the stool once with a dangling drop, now only clear fluid at the anus
Soft stool with blood may come from internal parasites, panleukopenia, indigestion, or damaged gut lining. If the cat is alert and eating, serious panleukopenia is unlikely; messy or changed food suggests indigestion - try short fasting plus probiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine. If not dewormed recently, get a fecal exam for coccidia, roundworms, or giardia.
Why does a cat keep vomiting?
White foam and soft stools are mainly from indigestible or spoiled food, fast eating, stress, hairballs, parasites, or gastroenteritis. Try fasting and probiotics first.
My cat walked and ran fine a few days ago but keeps falling down today
Unsteady walking can come from low blood sugar, calcium deficiency, bone, or nerve issues. Long fasting causes hypoglycemia needing glucose water; calcium deficiency or joint disease also cause instability. Persistent unsteadiness needs a vet.
My cat is vomiting yellow fluid, listless, and has no appetite.
Yellow vomit has many causes, including gastritis, blockage, indigestion, pancreatitis, nephritis, liver or gallbladder disease, and poisoning. Get an abdominal ultrasound, blood, and fecal tests. If a vet is inconvenient, fast 6 to 8 hours; if vomiting stops, give amoxicillin-clavulanate and cimetidine plus probiotics. Give glucose electrolyte water during fasting to prevent dehydration.
My cat was stressed after its mother hit it, hides, can’t stand, walks unsteady, eats little but normal elimination; how to treat, cost
Stress usually doesn't directly cause inability to stand unless severe, causing arrhythmia, clots, heart failure. Stress also lowers immunity, inviting FIP or gastroenteritis causing weakness. Mother may have hit a nerve (rare). Long fasting may cause low blood sugar; give nutrition and observe. If no improvement or new symptoms, see a vet for heart/nerve issues.
My cat only drinks water, won’t eat kibble, and vomits undigested kibble
Poor appetite with undigested-food vomiting suggests a stomach problem like blockage, indigestion, or gastroenteritis. Fast it and give probiotics; see a vet if no improvement.
Why Is My Cat Vomiting?
Cat vomiting can stem from gastritis, pancreatitis, hairballs, parasites, or viruses. Frequent vomiting needs a vet; occasional vomiting may just need a short fast.
My Cat Had Diarrhea Yesterday Afternoon, Ate Little, Then Vomited Three Times Today, Yellow with Undigested Kibble, and Is Lethargic
Diarrhea with yellow vomit and kibble can be virus, gastroenteritis, parasites, or diet; fast half a day to a day with probiotics and watch. If no improvement, see a vet to find and treat the cause.
Why Is a Cat’s Temperature Low?
Low temperature often comes from long fasting causing low blood sugar (give glucose water and feed on schedule), low environment temperature (keep warm), or an underlying disease needing a vet.
Why does my cat frequently vomit white foam?
White foam vomiting can come from bitter foods, long fasting, poisoning, stress, hairballs or severe pain. Withhold food 4-6 hours and give probiotics, then watch. If it does not improve, visit a vet.
