What to Feed a Cat with a Sensitive Stomach
Many cats have delicate digestion, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating if diet is ignored—and chronic trouble can cause dehydration. This guide covers the warning signs, common causes, and the best foods (gentle kibble, prescription diet, probiotics, and plain toppers) to settle a sensitive stomach.
Cat suddenly twitched for no reason, foamed at mouth; had deworming and was locked in kitchen once before; after twitching, whole body weak. What happened?
Sudden twitching causes: epilepsy (needs meds), calcium deficiency, congenital/acquired brain injury (encephalitis, etc.), poisoning (food, drug, CO). If dewormer was given, consider drug poisoning.
My cat has intermittent limb twitching, drools, is low-spirited, and has very hot ears
From your description, twitching, drooling, lethargy, and hot ears don't rule out poisoning, but heart disease, encephalitis, hydrocephalus, brain tumor, epilepsy, or distemper could also cause them. Get a vet exam to confirm the cause; the symptoms are serious, so timely treatment matters.
My cat had a seizure then foamed at the mouth, and the hind legs are clearly weak
Seizure with foaming and weak hind legs suggests epilepsy, poisoning, metabolic acidosis, low blood sugar, or encephalitis. See a vet for targeted care. Epilepsy can't be cured but is controlled with anti-seizure drugs; toxic ingestion needs prompt detoxification.
My cat has been sleeping since yesterday, vomited yellow fluid, and now drools
Vomiting, anorexia, rapid breathing, tongue out, and drooling point to feline rhinotracheitis or poisoning. If poisoning is suspected, go to a vet at once; the case is serious.
My cat has drooling, runny nose, tearing, poor appetite, won’t drink, and frequent continuous sneezing
A cat cold can be treated with pet cold and anti-inflammatory drugs (amox-clav, doxycycline, Shuanghuanglian); never human meds (they cause poisoning). Keep warm, give warm water and protein/vitamins; if no improvement in 2-3 days or eyes/nose turn mucopurulent or fever, it may be rhinotracheitis/mycoplasma - see a vet.
How does a cat get pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis risks include obesity from high-fat diets, nearby organ infections like gastroenteritis or cholangitis, and other illnesses such as parasites, injury or poisoning that lower immunity.
My cat has blood in stool and convulsions.
Blood in stool with convulsions may be poisoning or feline distemper, both serious. Get a full vet exam; if unvaccinated, distemper is likely (high mortality). If vaccinated, consider other causes.
Why Is Your Cat Throwing Up Yellow Fluid?
Cats have fragile stomachs, so vomiting is common - but yellow fluid worries owners. Here are the causes.
What Causes a Cat’s Limb Weakness?
Limb weakness may be from poisoning, calcium deficiency, or disease. Normally cats walk lightly; calcium deficiency causes weak hind legs, unsteady gait - supplement calcium and aid absorption (calcium-rich food, supplements, sunlight). Poisoning or panleukopenia also cause weakness - see vet.
