Some cats vomit due to indigestion or various reasons. Although some cats often vomit, some vomiting is beneficial, and some vomiting is a sign of a physical crisis. Inexperienced cat owners don’t know how to deal with it. First of all, you must know the reason for the cat's vomiting in order to better prevent and treat it. Let’s talk about these reasons why cats usually vomit.

1. Spit out gastric juice

If the vomit that the cat vomits is a viscous transparent liquid with a little white foam, it belongs to gastric juice. It may also have a little brown-green, because the vomiting is too severe, causing the bile to vomit a little.

Toat owners don't need to panic when they see this situation. This is a typical cat vomiting on an empty stomach. To put it bluntly, even when the cat's stomach is empty, the cat will feel uncomfortable in the stomach and vomit. If you have an empty stomach for too long, it will lead to excessive secretion of gastric acid, which will make the cat feel uncomfortable and even cause gastritis.

Solution:

Don't let the cat's rice bowl be vacant for too long. The cat's eating habit is to eat less and more meals, so that the cat can maintain its normal gastric juice secretion level.

2. Completely undigested food

Undied food may appear in cat vomit, such as whole cat food, which is generally slender. This situation indicates that gastric juice in the food is reduced and vomited out before it reaches the stomach, which is a reflux condition.

Solution:

Cats with this problem may have a narrow esophagus or an esophagus that is pressed. You must be careful when eating food. The shoveler can feed cat food that is completely crushed or pasted. You must feed less at a time so that the food can enter the stomach little by little.

3. Undigested food

Sometimes the master has just finished eating, but after a few minutes, the spit out the food has not been completely digested, and there are many formed cat food particles. Some cats even quickly spit out the whole cat grass after eating it.

One reason is that cats eat too fast and too much. Another is because the cat's stomach is intolerant of certain ingredients in food, and this situation is more likely to occur during the stage of changing cat food.

Solution:

You can give her a prescription food with hypoallergenic formula. It is worth noting that cats that are food intolerable are prone to soft stools and need special attention.

4. What is spit out is a ball of hair

The cat spends half of the day licking the hairs in the stomach. When the hairs that lick into the stomach and irritate to a certain extent, they will spit out. The balls of hairs are usually mixed with gastric juice. Sometimes they are just a few pieces of hairs, and sometimes they are as if they have been compressed, with a very hard texture.

Solution:

Whether long-haired cats or short-haired cats, they can often comb their hair to reduce the amount of hair that the cat licks into. In addition to combing hair, you should also keep hair cream or healthy oil (olive oil) at home. Feeding some cats occasionally can lubricate and decompose the hairballs inside the body. .

In addition to this, there are two other situations that need to be paid attention to.

Vomites have blood

If there is blood in the cat's vomit, it may be that the vomiting is too severe or gastritis, or it may be that the gastrointestinal mucosa is scratched by foreign objects, causing bleeding. Especially whether the kitten swallows needles, glass and other foreign objects.

There are foreign objects in the vomit

If the cat spits out not food but some foreign objects, plastic, tape or other things, it means that the cat has eaten foreign objects, which is likely to have caused the cat to be poisoned, or a larger amount of foreign objects are still stored in the stomach and intestines.

Although we are no longer surprised by cat vomiting, it is more serious when cat vomits and other symptoms. When the cat has the following situations, it should be taken to the hospital in time.

1. Severe vomiting several times in a day or a long time

2. Vomiting every day for several days

3. Accompanied with severe diarrhea

4. Accompanied with fever

5. Sometimes dry retching and unable to vomit out

6. No spirit and loss of appetite.

Vomiting not only reflects gastrointestinal problems, but in fact, most organs in the body may cause vomiting. If vomiting is accompanied by other symptoms, you must be sent to the hospital.

If the shoveler still cannot accurately judge the cat's vomiting, do not blindly use other methods. It is more effective and safe to find a veterinarian.
