What to do if my cat is still vomiting and not eating after vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 5 months old | 9.5 lbs

My cat keeps throwing up and has diarrhea. Took him to the vet and they gave him antibiotics for his 103.6 fever. He isn’t eating and when we force water into him, he just throws it up.

It sounds as Squash is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him back to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.if the vet thinks it is more serious he will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
