Cats stop eating after vomiting

“My 6 year old male cat started vomiting on and off this past week. He showed no interest in food suddenly which was the big warning sign for me so I took him to the emergency vet Friday evening. After bloodwork and x-rays, the vet determined he had an intestinal blockage from a foreign object and would need immediate surgery. He went in for the surgery and all went well - the vet was able to push the object down into his colon instead of cutting through his intestine, so he should be able to poo”

“Hi everyone, My kitten (4.5 months old) was neutered 2 days ago. The surgery was fine and he got given pain killers which didn’t agree with him. The following morning (yesterday) he was vomiting and having diarrhoea. I rang the vet and they saw him again, they said everything looked ok and it was probably just the pain killer. So they gave him some prescription food, an anti-sickness jab and a new painkiller. Throughout yesterday and today he was better but lethargic as expected . But tonight he”

“Tldr: cat threw up and the rolled to the side and started whole body shaking while still coherent and conscious, took to vet, now she won't eat and I'm stressed Hello, this morning I let my cat (6 years old) out to wander around the apartment complex, which is open on the sides on the upper levels but the bottom has glass windows and a door so she can't actually get out of the complex. She had been outside for about 5 minutes when I heard her throw up, and then come back inside. When”

“my indoor 4y/o female domestic shorthair has this issue where she gets nauseous from either going too long without food or eating something that doesn’t agree with her, so she throws up. because of the nausea, she refuses to eat, which in turn makes her more nauseous and the cycle repeats. i took her to the emergency vet the last time this happened (8ish months ago), they found nothing on x-rays and concluded after nearly a grand’s worth of services that she just has a sensitive stomach. after a”

“​Hi everyone, ​I need advice or ideas to try to somehow fix the situation. ​10 days ago, my cat (european, male, 6 year old) developed severe stomach pain, fever, and multiple episodes of vomiting within a single day. Emergency surgery revealed peritonitis, which was treated by the vet. He was given anti-inflammatory drugs for 5 days and antibiotics for 8 days. ​Since surgery, he barely eats. He shows that he is hungry, gets excited by the sound of food, and tries to eat. However, he seems to st”

“Heya all One of our little fur balls managed to get into a tub of Dreamies last night (approx 12 hours ago) and seems to have changed his behaviour today. Usually a fiend for ham/pâté, but not even sniffing it and then about 3 hours ago threw up clear foamy vomit. UK based and obviously vets are closed until tomorrow - the current thought process is to see how he is overnight and get him to the vet in the AM if there's no change. Just wanted any insight if possible ❤️ submitted by &#32”

“My kitten (5 months and 3 weeks-ish) threw up for the first time today, and since then she's been tired and sleeping on and off for about 6 hours now. Her vomit was supposedly because she ate a house spider, which we found in the mess while trying to see what happened. She was doing fine and even playing a lot before she threw up, but since she's thrown up she's done nothing but sleep. I'm so worried, she's not eating nor drinking water either. Her body temperature seems to b”

“Humo came home Friday. He was very scared and hid until Saturday. He drank water but now it's Sunday and he hasn't eaten a morsel. I'm an experienced cat owner but am running out of ideas for how to get him to eat and I worry about liver problems. He has an appointment with the vet for tomorrow but I'm not sure if they'll be able to do much more to get food in him... I've offered: -2 kinds of kibble -2 kinds of wet food -treats -gravy -steak -butter -milk Totally unintere”

“So, a few days ago, I’ve noticed my 9month old cat be increasingly lethargic and has not been eating his food fully. Although he would go back to it, it seems like he has a hard time finishing it. He’s lost his energy and has been sleeping all the time. I’ve also noticed his bowel movements have decreased significantly as he used to poop twice a day, to now only once every other day with increasingly smaller poops. I’ve also noticed that he seems to be having issues with his hind legs, as if he”

“My 10 year old cat has been eating less and less during the last couple of weeks, although he didn't show any signs of pain, other than being a little bit lethargic. Today, he wouldn't eat anything at all, so I decided to take him to the hospital. It's also worth mentioning that he had an brief episode of bloody vomiting some months ago. Otherwise, he has always been a very healthy cat. They examined him and this is the report: -------- Analytical comment: regenerative microcytic ane”

“Hi! I just got a 10 week old little black kitten from my dad two days ago. She's super playful, but she literally did not eat the first day she was here. I had wet food out for her (turkey & chicken fancy feast cans my dad had provided for me) as well as dry kitten food but she was not touching it. She was drinking cow milk, though... my dad said she needed it so I put some out for her, against regular advice I know but it's what she's used to. As a last ditch effort, I did end u”

“its the evening of day 4 and today she finally has energy (must be the meds) to get away from me from syringe feeding her food since she wont eat. i think her throat is at its worst. im not sure if its just too painful that she would rather run away from me or if she also has improved energy. shes become thin, weak and wobbly/out of balance. today i was only able to syringe her about max 3 syringes of food each meal, about 4 meals (royal canin recovery food watered down with dextrose water). she”

“She has a tumor under her tongue (diagnosed about 6 weeks ago). We know she only has a few more weeks, max. But i want to give her those weeks. Each time i put food in front of her (wet food, dry food, crushed up dry food, etc) she tries for 30 seconds to eat it. But most of it just falls out of her mouth, and she gives up. So it's clear she does still want to eat. But i think the tumor has ruined her tongue's dexterity. It's just the physical process that she can't do anymore. A”

“Hi everyone, My 3yo cat has not eating for the past few days. We’ve been force-feeding him, but he still has no appetite. His bloodwork showed a very high bilirubin level (5.9), and our vet recommended an abdominal ultrasound ASAP. We’re having trouble finding an appointment due to Labor Day, and we’re also very concerned about the potential cost of hospitalization ($5–10k), which is unfortunately beyond what we can afford. We’re looking for advice from vets or anyone who has experienced somethi”

“My 4 cats have all either stopped or became very passive towards food roughly on the same day. They’re 3 through 1 years old and all healthy as far as I’m concerned (with most recent regular vet check up being a month or so ago) One of them, a 1 year old Mainecoon has also thrown up a couple times I have a vet appointment for tomorrow morning, which is the earliest I could do, but wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I’ve tried giving with a different type (swapped from pate to gravy) of foo”

“I put a post out a few days ago about my cat throwing up and refusing to eat. I brought her to the vet and she ended up having a fever and an intestinal infection. They gave her antibiotics and said to watch her for the next few days. She is having really bad looking poops which the vet said should be normal since her intestines are inflamed, but she also said that I need to make sure she's eating and drinking water. I haven't been able to see if she's drank water, but she is still r”

“My 8-month-old male cat has been sick for about 10 days, and I’m trying to understand whether FIP is actually a reasonable possibility or if there could be another explanation About him Male, 8 months old Current weight: less than 3.55 kg after noticeable weight loss We have 5 cats in total. The other 4 are currently completely normal. No diarrhea or difficulty urinating throughout the illness.

“Cat, ~1 year old, DSH, male, a little under 8 lbs and underweight. He was a stray that we brought indoors last week. He was examined, combo tested, vaccinated, and had a negative fecal test. The vet felt he was healthy despite being underweight. He was neutered Monday (8/24). Since the neuter, he has been very lethargic and has had a very poor appetite. He has eaten small amounts, so he has not gone completely without food. Yesterday on Thursday, he vomited twice. The first time was clear liquid”

“Hello, I live rurally with two cats, one is a mainly outside cat, one is not allowed outside. On Tuesday both of them stopped eating. I have been trying different foods and neither of them want to eat. Multiple varieties of wet food, separate form the dry food. We hve successfully gotten them to eat small treats like the tubes and temptations but only a few bites per day. I wouldn’t be concerned if it was just the outside cat as he hunts a lot. Neither of them were acting lethargic until yesterd”

“Basically my cat vomitted 36 hours ago and is not eating since. He does drink. He is lethargic, but seems healthy. Then he vomitted 12 hours ago again. Today I asked a remote vet to help me and he gave the following recommendations: Metoclopramide 10 mg — ¼ tablet every 12 hours Pentomid 20 mg — ¼ tablet every 12 hours Metronidazole (Nidazole) syrup — 3 cc morning + 3 cc night Probiotic powder/paste — keep 2 hours apart from metronidazole Multi-mineral paste — as instructed by the vet He said fo”

“Hello. About 30 minutes ago my cat began foaming at the mouth and vomiting. She started foaming at the mouth, vomited some food, foamed at the mouth more, vomited a hair ball, still foaming at the mouth and vomited what I can assume is bile. It’s been around 30-40 minutes now, she hasn’t drank any water and she is just under my bed but she is still foaming at the mouth a bit because I can hear it. None of the vets are open now, but there is an emergency vet 10 miles away. I called and she said i”

“Looking for advice because we feel stuck. We have two indoor cats (Grammy - 4 years old, and Doc - 6 years old) who both suddenly developed vomiting, severe loss of appetite, and nausea around the same time. Grammy also developed severe diarrhea (improved for a couple days and then got worse again) and became dehydrated enough to require hospitalization. Grammy has historically been a picky eater, throws up frequently, and been smaller. However, after an ultrasound we believe she’s always had un”

“I have an orange cat (almost 8 months old) named Tofu. On Sunday, he stopped eating but he was very activeee. As usual. He is extremely active and there was nothing wrong with his energy aside from the fact that he wasn't eating. I thought I'll observe him for a day and take him to vet the next day if he is still not eating. And I was confused because he was still having his treat lol. But the next morning, he vomited twice and still was not eating (open to treats though lol although he”

“9 y/o male neutered american shorthair, approx 9.5lbs, USA. aural hematoma appeared around two weeks ago, surgical removal completed yesterday My baby boy had an ear hematoma that we believe is caused by him shaking our other cat off when the younger cat would bite his ears (1y/o neutered american shorthair male). I was trying to see if it would reduce on his own, but he lost a lot of interest in food and his energy was low and I think his ear canal being blocked off was affecting his equilibriu”
