My cat ate Chinaberry leaves and is throwing up bile. What to do?

Question

My cat ate some Chinaberry tree leaves and chewed on some bark, it's been about 2weeks now and he seems to be losing his appetite, throwing up some bile, what can I do?

Jennifer Summerfield, DVM CPDT-KA · Accepted Answer

All parts of the Chinaberry tree are considered to be toxic, so it's certainly possible that this could be the cause of your cat's symptoms. It's also possible that he may have some other, unrelated illness - many things can cause decreased appetite and vomiting, including liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, an intestinal obstruction, or a GI infection of some kind. I would recommend taking your cat to the vet today for an exam - he/she can do blood work or other testing if needed to help diagnose the problem and get him started on appropriate treatment.
