What to Do If Your Cat Has Diarrhea and Vomiting After a Bath and Air Conditioning
A bath followed by cold air-conditioning can chill a cat and trigger vomiting and diarrhea, often from bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, or (if unvaccinated) panleukopenia. Withhold food and water for 6-8 hours if vomiting persists, use vet-approved GI meds, keep the cat warm at 27-28C, and see a vet if symptoms continue.
Hairball Paste or Cat Grass: What Is Better for a Cat’s Hairballs?
Hairball paste generally works better than cat grass, because cat grass triggers vomiting while paste gently moves hairballs through the gut with the stool. Feed paste 2-3 times a week for light groomers, or every 1-2 days for heavy groomers, and watch for soft stools from overuse.
Cat Dandruff: Causes and Treatment
Dandruff in cats is usually caused by external parasites such as fleas or lice, or by allergic reactions to pollen and dust. Mild flakes with no other symptoms are normal, but heavy flaking with rashes or hair loss calls for parasiticides and medicated skin care. Regular deworming and a healthy skin barrier are the best defense.
Cat Vomiting and Diarrhea? Watch for Colitis
Colitis is a group of large-intestine diseases—acute, chronic, or ulcerative. It comes from parasites, bacteria, viruses, irritants, or primary causes. Treat vomiting/diarrhea with an antiemetic-antidiarrheal and probiotics, and prevent dehydration.
How to Help a Thin Cat Gain Weight
A thin cat may be underweight due to genetics, poor diet, parasites, digestive disease, or dental issues. Rule out illness with a vet first; then raise the diet's nutritional density, feed small frequent meals, and add gentle play to boost appetite and build a healthy body.
My cat has been vomiting for days and now has soft stools — what’s wrong?
Vomiting and soft stools can have many causes: diet, hairballs, parasites, gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, panleukopenia, hepatitis. Adjust diet, feed easily digestible food and probiotics; if no improvement, see a vet.
Why does my cat keep squatting like a brooding hen?
Not always illness; analyze with eating, energy, temperature, breathing, pain. FIP causes it with fever, fluid, no appetite; pancreatitis causes abdominal pain; acute gastroenteritis; kidney/stone/blockage also. See a vet if energy/appetite are off.
My cat is in good spirits but has diarrhea
Diarrhea needs a clear cause for targeted care. Low odds of panleukopenia given good spirits; internal parasites (roundworm, coccidia, tapeworm, hookworm, giardia) need dewormer; indigestion or gut disorder may become gastroenteritis — fast a day, give probiotics, anti-diarrhea, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Overeating, cold, or chilling also cause diarrhea; avoid excess food and keep warm.
Kitten under a week home, won’t eat, very active; came back to no food/drink and white foam vomit; fed a cat treat, vomited again
White foam vomiting has many causes; the photo shows pink-tinged foam, suggesting stomach injury or bleeding, perhaps from poor eating and indigestion or gastroenteritis. If newly home under a week and unvaccinated, test for feline panleukopenia to avoid missing a virus. For 1-2 vomits with fair spirits, give probiotics and anti-vomit/anti-inflammatory meds, fast briefly, and see a vet if no improvement.
Vomited kibble at first, reduced; since yesterday no food or water; today only water then vomited white foamy fluid
Vomiting with no eating and lethargy may be bacterial gastroenteritis, parasites, pancreatitis, or panleukopenia. Abdominal imaging and blood tests at a vet are recommended.
