My cat threw up twice, is constipated, and won't take laxative.

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 years and 1 month old | 14 lbs

My cat just threw up twice. The first time he threw up his food and the second time he threw up stomach juices. Previously when he threw up it was because he was constipated and I tried to give him the laxative paste I got from the vet but he won't eat it. He was acting normally all day today

If he is still vomiting then he needs to be examined by a vet for treatment. If he is constipated, he may need an enema and medication to help soften his stool. He might also need an anti-vomiting medication.
