Hello, This is duz👋😄

Today, we're going to take a look at the health of cats, which can be known by their vomiting 🤮.

When you raise a cat, you sometimes vomit hairballs, but there are various symptoms of vomiting, such as yellow vomit, white foaming vomit, and pink vomit.

Depending on the symptoms of vomiting, you can find out whether it is a natural vomit or a vomit with health problems.

Then, shall we go take a look??

 

【Natural vomiting】

Cats are animals that have a habit of throwing up often 🐱

There are many causes for cats to vomit, but in healthy cats, vomiting is mostly natural. 🙂

“The cat threw up her hairball”

Cats sometimes swallow their fur during the grooming process.

Most of the hair swallowing in this way is excreted in the bowel, but if the amount of hair swallowed is large, it may not be digested and may cause hairballs (bubbles of hair) due to vomiting 🧶

However, if your cat has a hard time when vomiting or vomits frequently, your esophagus or stomach can damage, so you should provide hairball care feed or brush your hair frequently to help you avoid swallowing a lot of hair.

 

“The cat vomited undigested food”

There are two reasons for throwing up undigested feed

It's when you eat fast or eat a lot of feed at once 😿

If a cat eats feed quickly, it is said that if you use a curved bowl or change it to a nose work bowl so that you can eat slowly, you can solve the problem of eating quickly.

If a cat eats a lot of feed at once or overeats, it is recommended to reduce the amount eaten at once when feeding feed, or to soak in water with a lot of moisture or feed. 🥛

 

“The cat vomited yellow liquid”

If the cat vomited liquid, but vomited yellow liquid, the gap between meals was too far apart, so I vomited on an empty stomach. 😟

If the cat's fasting condition is prolonged, gastric fluid or bile flows backward, and this gastric fluid and bile are yellow liquids.

In this case, it can be solved by changing the number of salaries without changing the daily salary.

 

“The cat vomited a clear liquid mixed with white foam”

When a cat vomits a transparent liquid, the transparent liquid is more likely to be gastric.

The transparent liquid vomit, even when the cat is mixed with foam, is because he vomited on an empty stomach from hunger 😞

In this case, if the cat's appetite or activity is the same as before, you don't have to worry too much, but if vomiting is repeated, it can cause gastritis and esophagitis.

 

 

【Vomiting to Be Concerned】

Unlike cats' natural vomiting, there are also symptoms that need to be examined at an animal hospital. 🙀

It's pink or light red vomiting and dark red or brown vomiting.

Let me tell you what caused these symptoms.

 

“The cat vomited pink or light red liquid”

First, the cat vomited pink or light red liquid. 🤢

Pink or light red liquid refers to bleeding in the 🩸 cat's esophagus, stomach, and gums.

Also, it may be vomiting due to roundworms or foreign substances, so please check if the vomit contains bugs or foreign substances.

 

“The cat vomited dark red or brown liquid”

Dark red vomiting in cats is not common, but it is a case of serious bleeding and vomiting due to ulcers or tumors in the gastrointestinal tract 🩸

In this case, since the cat is pitting due to severe bleeding, it can be accompanied by anemia 🤕

 

「Supplies for going to the animal hospital」

If you have to go to the animal hospital because of cat vomiting

1. When I vomit more than once a week

2. When you lose appetite and exercise after throwing up

3. This is when fever, diarrhea, and drinking a lot of water are accompanied.

If a cat vomits and comes to the hospital, the number of vomiting and the color of vomiting (you can take a picture of it),

About the behavior or sound of vomiting, what you ate before vomiting and whether there was any change in the environment ✍

If you check in advance and visit the hospital, it will help you see the doctor accurately. 🩺

 

 

So far, we've looked into the symptoms and causes of cat vomiting.

I hope this is a helpful post for anyone living with their cat. 😉

I hope you have a good day today, and I will come back with a helpful post next time.

 

 

 

​​Have a great day with the duz '◡'
