My cat has occasional vomiting and diarrhea. When should I worry?

Question

Kitty diarrhea and vomit, watery/pudding consistency. Both very similar. Has happened twice in last 2 months. Appears fine, no signs of dehydration. Appetite still hearty, water bowl levels decrease as normal. No change in diet or environment. Appears only to last 24-48hrs. No signs of dehydration. Very traumatizing for him when I take him to the vet. Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Male | neutered | 4 years and 9 months old | 12 lbs

It could be that Fitz ate something in the house that upset his stomach, causing the vomiting and diarrhea. It could also be that he has intestinal worms. I would make sure he's up to date on his deworming treatments, giving him one if he isn't. I recommend Panacur. You can try giving him a bland diet when he has the vomiting and diarrhea to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feeding a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. Given that it's only happened twice in the last two months and he's otherwise acting normal, I wouldn't rush him into a vet just yet. If it continues, then yes take him into the vet. I hope this helps!
