My cat is vomiting, has bare spots, and watery eyes. Is it Parvo?

Question

One-year-old male cat, Kirito, has been vomiting, vomited small amounts throughout the day today, but vomited all of his food this afternoon. He also has some bare spots under chin and on a hind leg that might be from fleas (we're fighting those). In addition, his eyes are watering, and this morning, my son dropped by unexpectedly with his new puppy who, he said, "Just got over Parvo," if that might be applicable at all.

Dog parvo is not transmitted to cats so it is not likely secondary to the new puppy. If he is otherwise acting okay, you could withhold food for 8-12 hours and then try a small amount of a bland diet (sensitive stomach diet or boiled chicken and rice) and see how he does with that. I’m not sure what you are using for fleas but make sure you are using a safe product like Frontline, Revolution, Advantage. If the vomiting continues then he should be examined and treated by a vet. Your vet can prescribe medications to help treat the vomiting.
