Why won't my cat eat 2 days after vomiting plastic & vet care?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 2 years and 6 months old | 10.5 lbs

On 7/23 my 2 year old cat vomited. It had small pieces of plastic grass from a plant in the vomit. On 7/24 pm, my cat continued to vomit 4 times. On 7/25 I took my cat to the Vet. She ran blood work and did full body x-rays. The x-rays did not show any bowel obstruction. She provided subQ fluids and an IM anti-emetic. She sent us home on Flagyl & Cerenia. It's been 2 days and my cat won't eat. While his activity level has improved, he has shown no interest in food. What do I do?

I would contact your vet about this. They may discuss changing his medications because sometimes the flagyl can cause a decreased appetite, or they may need to repeat the Cerenia if he is nauseous. Kisses to Ollie!
