What's wrong with cats vomiting when they eat? Cats vomiting may be caused by digestive problems or other health problems. It could be that it eats some unhealthy food, or it has some kind of viral infection. The best way is to take it to the veterinarian to determine the specific cause and take appropriate treatment measures based on the veterinarian’s advice.
1. Eating too fast
If the cat eats too fast, it will cause food reflux, resulting in vomiting. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner fast the cat first to prevent food and water from further irritating the cat's gastrointestinal tract and causing the cat to vomit again. After the cat no longer vomits, the owner can give the cat a small amount of clean drinking water and observe the cat's reaction. If the cat's mental and appetite is relatively normal, you can give the cat a small amount of canned gastrointestinal prescription. In addition, the owner can feed the cat a small amount of food or use a food distributor to feed the cat, which can effectively alleviate this situation.
2. Suffering from wool bulbismus
Because cats have the habit of combing their hair, long-term performance will cause hair to accumulate in the stomach. When the cat consumes food, the food stimulates the wool bulb, which will cause the cat to vomit after eating. Therefore, the owner can check the cat's vomit. If you find hair in the vomit, it is likely that it is vomiting hairballs. At this time, it is recommended that the owner feed the cat hair cream or cat grass to help the cat excrete the hairballs in the body.
3. Foreign objects are blocked
If a cat accidentally eats foreign objects such as plastic bags, wool, hair, toys, etc., these foreign objects may block their intestines, causing the food they eat to be unable to digest, resulting in discomfort such as vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, etc. Therefore, if the owner suspects that the cat has accidentally eaten a foreign object, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for an examination to determine the location and size of the foreign object, and then choose the appropriate treatment method for treatment.
4. Causes of diseases: If a cat vomits very frequently and is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, such as mental depression, loss of appetite, diarrhea, fever, etc., it is likely caused by gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, cat plague virus infection and other diseases. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination as soon as possible to see what is the specific cause, and then conduct targeted treatment.
