My cat is weak after vomiting. What food helps her regain strength?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | European Shorthair | Female | spayed | 6 years and 11 months old | 7.275 lbs

Went to the vet yesterday because my cat has been eating very little and vomiting. Her blood showed no complications but she lost some weight and they prescribed Metoclopramide to deal with the vomiting. However due to weird side effects (disorientation, dilated pupils, weakness and restlessness) they advised to stop the medication. Thankfully the vomiting has stopped and I'm feeding her little amounts and vitamin paste. My question is: Can I do or feed anything extra to get her strength back?

Hi, yes you can increase the amount of food you are offering gradually. You could try Hill’s recovery tinned food which is quite palatable packed with vitamins and minerals and could mix it with a bit of bland diet. Hope this helps !
