My cat ate too many treats and has gas. Is he sick or just greedy?

Question

My cat got into his treats and pretty much all of them.. he doesn’t seem sick but has really bad gas. Any suggestions to what I should do incase he does get a stomach ache? Also is it possible he did this because he’s not getting enough food or does he just want treats? I feed him twice a day, and I fill the bowl to the top.

Hopefully he will suffer no more than gas. If he does seem uncomfortable you could ask your vet for something to soothe and line the tummy such as famotidine. If he seems very ill I would take him to the vet in case he develops pancreatitis if the treats are fatty. I think this is unlikely though and he should be fine. The likelihood is that he has just been greedy for his treats. Keep them well out of the way. You shouldn't need to fill the bowl right up, I recommend feeding a good quality food such as Hills or royal canin and feedibg for your cat's weight according to the packet.
