How to Treat Cat Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis is common in cats—their digestion handles grains and sharp bones poorly, and spoiled food can trigger acute gastritis. Signs are vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, appetite loss and dehydration. Withhold food briefly for mild cases, but persistent symptoms, especially in kittens, need a vet.
