Why is my cat throwing up gray bile, not eating, and sluggish?

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Vomiting can occur from many conditions such as foreign body ingestion and obstruction, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Lily evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start her on medications to make her feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good day!

Hi there! Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Vomiting is sometimes seen with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, dietary indiscretion, pancreatitis and chronic kidney disease, among many other conditions. Given Mew's young age and the fact that she is otherwise doing fine, dietary indiscretion appears more likely. It may be something as easy as just changing her diet to something that she can tolerate better. However, an examination by a veterinarian as well as minimal diagnostic data would be needed to rule out more concerning things. You can start by changing her diet to a sensitive stomach type diet. If no improvement, have her examined by a veterinarian to start therapy if needed based on findings. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Mau! With cats there isn't much at home care that can be done for excessive vomiting. Due cat's extreme sensitivity to human medications there is nothing safe to give him. I would try fasting him for 12-24 hours, add in a hairball medication ( https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=19963 ). Then I would restart feeding him as you have been, small frequent meals. Ideally he needs to see a Vet Monday due to the length of vomiting he is having. Causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, foreign body, dietary indiscretion, toxin ingestion, IBD, food allergies, pancreatitis. I hope this helps and I wish Mau the best!

Since it has been a couple days, I think it would be best if she was examined by your vet. She could have an infection, parasite, gastritis/enteritis, metabolic/endocrine disease, or an obstruction. Your vet can run labwork and take xrays, if needed, to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat. Your vet can prescribe an anti-vomiting, gastric protectant, and give fluids to prevent dehydration. Hope she feels better soon!

Hello, sorry to hear about Mallomar. I would be concerned that he could have an upset GI tract. Causes for these signs in a cat his age could include inflammation of the GI tract, a dietary indiscretion (getting into something he wasn't supposed to), or even ingesting a foreign object. You can fast him for the rest of the morning and afternoon, then offer a small amount of food tonight, a bland diet of plain white rice, skinless and boneless chicken, and low fat cottage cheese would work. If his vomiting persists, if he gets lethargic, or if he loses appetite, then I would recommend having him evaluated by his primary care veterinarian. He would likely need bloodwork and some x-rays of his abdomen to confirm he does not have a foreign object or any other underlying systemic diseases (kidney diseased, liver diseases, pancreatitis, etc) which can also present with vomiting signs. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Vomiting can be caused by many conditions primarily gastrointestinal in nature such gastroenteritis and gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction or other conditions such as pancreatitis or kidney disease. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include abdominal imaging and general bloodwork. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least they can prescribe anti-nausea medications to make her feel better. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I’m so sorry to hear about Buddy! My first concern is that he ate something like a string, ribbon, etc that is now stuck somewhere. This is the most common type of foreign body in cats. Because a string will not block the intestines entirely, there is sometimes not any vomiting. However, this type of scenario can be life-threatening. If he is prone to eating stuff like that, I recommend seeing a vet as soon as possible- tonight would be ideal. Of course it could be many other things too as these are “non-specific” signs. A simple gastroenteritis (ate something weird and it disaggrees with him), viral infection, pain/injury, fever, toxin, abscess, and even a hairball stuck in the intestines can all cause these types of signs. Long story short, if Buddy is not better in 48 hours or is worse in any way, it’s time to see the vet. Best of luck to you and Buddy!

Treatment would depend on findings. Good luck and have a great day!

That could be related to hairballs,or possibly another type of gastrointestinal disease(infection, inflammation, pancreatitis and many others). I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8-12 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled white fish and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
