Why is my cat vomiting after eating and drinking water?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Started with cats diarrhea last week with slight blood in stool. Now cat is vomiting after every meal although I'm feeding small amounts of food and water to reduce stomach irritation. When he drinks just water it seems he vomits a clear watery substance. No diarrhea noted for past few days

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
