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.
My cat keeps vomiting yellow fluid and sits in a crouch; started today, vomited four or five times; want to watch before the vet — what is it?
Yellow vomit has many causes: poor feeding, belly chill, hairballs, parasites, viral/bacterial infection, organ issues. If spirits are okay after vomiting, fast and give mild fluids like diluted glucose; if anorexia, fever, or diarrhea appear, see a vet.
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.
My cat secretly ate three pieces of mochi – what will happen? (Urgent)
Mochi is mainly glutinous rice flour with many additives; after eating it a cat may get indigestion and, in severe cases, gastroenteritis or kidney strain. Watch for any discomfort and seek veterinary care if symptoms appear. Withhold food temporarily to ease the digestive burden.
My Cat Is a Stray I Adopted in March 2022; Never Vaccinated or Neutered. Now That It Sprays and Yowls and There’s a Toddler at Home, Is It Too Late to Vaccinate Then Neuter? Will It Still Spray After Neutering? Higher Risk of Feline Panleukopenia After Neutering?
For safety, it is best to vaccinate and build immunity before neutering, since immunity dips afterward and infection risk rises. Even without vaccination, a health check is required before the procedure. Have a vet examine the cat first, then follow their advice.
My cat vomited twice today – once white liquid, once brown liquid
White liquid vomit can come from indigestion, hairballs, or gastroenteritis. Overeating or eating too fast causes indigestion - withhold food and give probiotics. For hairballs, use cat grass or hairball paste. If vomiting persists or other symptoms appear, see a vet.
Around 8 PM I gave the cat a piece of chicken breast, and at 8:40 it suddenly vomited and threw up a lot of white foam – what’s the cause?
White foam vomiting has many causes: indigestion, excess stomach acid, gastritis. Chicken breast can cause indigestion; unclean or un-fresh meat can cause vomiting and soft stool. First fast it and give pet probiotics; watch. If no relief, give pet anti-inflammatory and antiemetic. If still abnormal, see a vet.
My cat eats boiled chicken, carrot, gizzards and kibble, and suddenly vomited today
From the photo, the vomit is undigested food, usually from improper feeding or overeating causing indigestion. Withhold food for a while and give pet probiotics to balance gut flora. If vomiting continues, gastroenteritis is possible and a veterinary visit is advised.
Cat went out about an hour, stressed, vomited undigested food, then yellow foam, then white gastric fluid; no food or water; slightly low spirits, occasionally grumpy; is it serious?
For stress vomiting, fast the cat 4-6 hours in a quiet, dim, separate space and offer pheromones or catnip. If vomiting or stress continues, see a vet.
Please help, my cat started vomiting after a B-ultrasound at the hospital the day before yesterday
Vomiting yellow fluid and white foam is usually gastritis from irregular/oily diet or hard-to-digest food; blockage, pancreatitis, enteritis, or panleukopenia also possible. If unvaccinated, screen for viruses; if energy is good, fast and give pet anti-vomit and anti-inflammatory meds, but see a vet if vomiting persists.
