No energy, no food or water
Vomiting, no eating or drinking, and lethargy may be indigestion, gastroenteritis, foreign objects, hairballs, or panleukopenia. Try fasting and probiotics first.
Kitten recently eats very little and stools are very dry
The image is blurry, but poor appetite with dry stools may be hairballs, constipation, blockage, or a single diet, and can be an early sign of disease. Try cat grass and hairball paste first.
My cat keeps wanting to vomit and now has a bit of a cough
Frequent retching can be hairballs, gastroenteritis, indigestion, or stress. Give hairball paste and cat grass; for stress, soothe and give probiotics. If it persists, see a vet.
What should I do if my cat vomits water and foam?
Vomiting white foam with no eating or drinking can come from irritating food, long hunger, poisoning, stress, hairballs, acute gastritis, or infection. First fast for half a day and give pet probiotics; if no improvement or other symptoms appear, see a vet.
My cat vomits no matter how much food I give; how to treat?
Frequent vomiting may be hairballs, gastritis/ulcer, parasites, pancreatitis, kidney/liver disease, blockage, or food. Try a hypoallergenic diet and probiotics; hairball paste if fur in vomit; deworm; see a vet if with diarrhea or lethargy.
My cat won’t eat or drink, keeps retching, and is very weak
Not eating, retching, and weakness can come from diet, hairballs, or respiratory infection; serious diseases like panleukopenia also fit. Give probiotics or hairball paste for simple cases and see a vet if no relief.
My cat vomits undigested kibble, eats only canned food and drinks, is lethargic and sits in a loaf – why?
Those signs may mean gastroenteritis, FIP, panleukopenia, liver disease or hairballs; causes differ, so see a vet early. FIP and panleukopenia are dangerous, so act fast.
My cat will not eat, sleeps all day and vomits once or twice each night – what’s wrong?
Lethargy and vomiting can be hairballs, parasites, gut disease or infection. Try hairball paste; see a vet to confirm the cause.
My cat has reduced appetite, sits in a loaf position and occasionally vomits – what’s wrong?
The loaf position usually means abdominal pain from gastritis, FIP, liver disease or hairballs. See a vet to find the cause; dehydration and refusal to eat need fluids.
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.
