Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 months and 30 days old | 8.5 lbs

Hello. I have an 8 month old kitten who may have ingested a grape two and half days go, he was taken to an emergency vet clinic afterwards upon throwing up he was given blood and urine tests that were both negative and then taken to a vet yesterday morning where a second urine test also resulted in negative - he just vomited again but the vet I currently take him to is closed. I am aware that cats do randomly vomit, but given the current circumstances I don't know how cautious I should be.

You did exactly the right thing by taking Ben into the vet after ingesting some grapes! I can understand being concerned about him vomiting, and given the current circumstances, I would monitor him for now. If he continues to vomit, take him into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him. I'd also take him into a vet if he stops eating, becomes lethargic or listless, has diarrhea, his breath has a strange odor to it, and/ or has seizures. You can try giving him a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts to see if that helps settle his stomach. I'm not sure when he is scheduled to see a vet again, but a check up with a vet in another couple of days would be a good idea. I hope this helps, good luck!

I took my papillon to the emergency vet to have vomiting induced, poor pup vomited grape and was given fluids and anti nausea meds via injection. We were told just to monitor and to not allow food for the next few hours, is there any other post opera
I'm so glad you took Peanut to the emergency clinic right away and that they were able to make him vomit up the grape. The concern for the next few hours is that since they gave him medication to vomit the grape, some dogs will continue to be nauseated (despite anti-nausea medication) and will vomit again if fed or allowed too much water. So, that is the concern for the next few hours. If there is a possibility that Peanut ate any additional grapes, I would recommend having blood checked in 3 days to make sure his kidney values are normal. Otherwise, as long as Peanut returns to his normal appetite and energy level without any vomiting, there aren't any special instructions for grape ingestion that was immediately vomited. I hope that was helpful and answered your questions. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Benji has been eating dry food. Has been for the last 6 months. I got a kitten and I’ve been feeding the kitten wet food, which Benji has been eating. His baby sitter has been feeding him the wet food. Benji is now puking and how vet isn’t taking app
Poor Benji! It is important to note that the vomiting may or may not be related to the canned food. While it is a change in his diet, the kitten could have also introduced a virus or parasites which may cause vomiting. Other causes are possible as well. Here is a helpful link including treatment: https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-cats/ A bland diet may help but some cats can be very finicky about eating these. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. You could use the ultra low fat hamburger boiled instead of the chicken as well. Definitely stop giving the canned food and only offer the normal dry food. Dehydration is the biggest concern for make sure he is drinking/holding down water. I also recommend to try to get him into a different vet sooner. If he continues to vomiting beyond 24 hours or if he gets worse, start looking for a different clinic. Make sure to bring in a stool sample for parasite testin

My pitbull is 52 pounds and he ate one grape. I found it in his vomit, after he had diarrhea overnight. He’s urinating fine and is acting normal. Do I need to get him to a ER or will he most likely be ok and just keep an eye on him for the next 24hrs
If you found it in Blue's vomit, that means he didn't ingest it, and he may be ok. I'd still have him checked out by a vet to be safe, as without seeing him in person, I cannot say if he will be ok or not for sure. You can wait until Monday to have him seen if he's acting normally. Best of luck.

My dog ate one grape 24 hours ago and vomited plus diarrhea. She has stopped vomiting and stool start to look more solid. She is 25 lbs Australian shepherd mini, one year and one month old. I gave her one activated charcoal since it is 24 hours timel
Hi, I dont’ think the vomiting and diarrhoea is related to the grape ingestion. It could be that she has also eaten something else ! I would recommend to have her checked over 48 hours post ingestion to check her blood, to make sure that everything is fine. Hope this helps !

This sounds quite serious, and I would take Frost into a vet immediately. The problem with grapes is that we don't know the amount needed to cause kidney failure, and even one or two could potentially cause it. It's concerning he won't eat or drink, and is vomiting everything, and that can be signs of kidney failure . He needs veterinary care now, please take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck.

My cat was vomiting and something inedible came up. Should I still be worried?
If she stops eating or continues to vomit, there is cause for concern. Ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian. Abdominal x-rays can be done to make sure no other foreign bodies remain in her stomach and that she isn't obstructed. If this is not possible, consider a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. If she still vomits after this, a veterinary visit is strongly recommended.

Did not see Pepper eat grapes (know they are very toxic) but my son was eating grapes cut in quarters and I am not sure if he dropped a piece (he didn’t feed her any). Pepper threw up two long log shaped piles of vomit 4/5 hrs later (mostly kibble an
Grapes are such a difficult thing to discuss, because we aren’t exactly how many and what kinds are toxic to dogs. Generally, very small amounts aren’t likely to cause any issues. I think it would be a good idea to discuss this with your vet on Monday. Grapes can cause kidney failure, so it might be a good idea to go ahead and check her kidney values on blood work and check a urinalysis as a baseline to monitor for any future changes. Since it has been so long since she could have eaten the grapes, and has already vomited once, I don’t see any reason to induce vomiting again. I have little kids and dogs, I get it, it’s hard to keep them from gobbling up the dropped stuff! When you are serving things like grapes, it would be safest to keep Pepper away from the table. You can have her in a dog kennel, baby gate the eating area, or save the grapes as an outside snack while Pepper stays inside.

My 2 year old cat keeps throwing up small amounts my vet is closed
Poor guy. If he has vomited more than a few times within an hour and seems unstable (lethargic, weak, non-responsive), then this is considered an emergency and he should go to any available vet or ER vet today. However, if he is still active, nice pink gums, and responsive, you can monitor him to see if the vomiting subsides. You should also fast him (not food, only water) for at least 12 hrs, then try offering him a bland diet of tuna and white rice or lean ground turkey and white rice to see if you can help settle his stomach. Hopefully he turns around and just ate something that upset his stomach a bit. I hope that Mitch recovers soon from his apparent stomach upset. Best of luck moving forward. Take care. : )

My kitty went to the vet this morning for chronic vomiting overnight (9 piles!). They think he ate something he wasn’t supposed to and gave him fluids, nausea meds and another for bacteria in his belly that will help flush things. We are home & he wa
That degree of vomiting is very concerning. Were any tests performed? It sounds like you were provided with supportive care but that treatment may or may not resolve the symptoms, dependent on the cause. Typically with acute vomiting bloodwork to rule out any organ issues and xrays of the abdomen are the first steps. The main concern would be a foreign body ingestion. This may or may not be able to be diagnosed with an xray. If your kitty is not back to normal tomorrow (or sooner if his condition declines further, additional vomiting noted) a follow up with your vet is advised for diagnostics and additional treatment. If the initial tests are normal then the next steps may include (dependent on your kittys exam and age) an abdominal ultrasound and pancreatitis testing, etc. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!

My kitten threw up yesterday and today. I've taken him to the vet before and we found out he has a funny thing going on with his pelvis that causes him to become severely constipated. We got medicine for him after the enema and I gave it to him along
I would take your kitten into the vet due to his history of constipation. When cats become severely constipated, they can start vomiting and feel very unwell. It's also recommended to take a cat to the vet when they have been throwing up for more than one day. I would be concerned that his vomiting is related to his problems with constipation, and he may need another enema to help pass feces. I'm not sure what medication your vet originally gave him after the enema, but you can discuss with the vet if another medication would be easier for you to give to him. You did the right thing by asking for help to see if he needs to see a vet, and I think you should take him into the vet now.
