“Even the smallest feline is perfection.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Cats are man's old friends. Affectionate and wayward, naked and fluffy, purring pets bring a lot of pleasure and joy in communication. And how much worry purrs bring to their loving owners when they are sick, and especially when they vomit.
Owners panic – what happened to their pet? Why does a cat vomit? What to do - rush to the vet or use home remedies?
What is the gag reflex
In purring cats, vomiting occurs frequently - this is a manifestation normal operation feline gastrointestinal tract. But sometimes gag reflex becomes a symptom of a serious illness.
Vomiting is a spontaneous action of the body. A special center located in the animal’s brain gives the command to eject the contents of the intestines. When a cat feels bad, it vomits - its body protects itself by removing poisons, toxins, excess food and foreign bodies that have entered the stomach.
But gagging is the tip of a huge iceberg. The brain center gives orders and is activated for other reasons (illness, strengthening intracranial pressure, gastrointestinal pathologies). Sometimes the cat vomits in the car - when the cat shakes violently, it vestibular apparatus fails to cope and sends a danger signal to the brain. The result is vomiting.
Cat vomiting is a universal and multifaceted symptom. The owner of a furry cat needs to know everything about this reflex in order to figure out in time what is happening to the pet and respond competently.
Causes of cat vomiting
Most often, a cat vomits fur. Cats regularly clean themselves by licking their fur. Gradually, a voluminous hairball accumulates in the animal’s stomach, which causes vomiting (in this case, a tight lump is noticeable in the vomit).
This type of vomiting is part of a pet’s normal life and occurs every month. In some cases, the hairball becomes too large and leads to gastrointestinal problems (this happens in long-haired cats).
To avoid such complications, it is recommended to give pets special drugs(pastes) that help the animal get rid of eaten hair.
TO aids This includes weed. Be sure to grow homemade grass for your favorite purrs! What other reasons cause the gag reflex?
Medical intervention
Attentive owners know very well where the local veterinary clinic is located and regularly visit it with their pet. A medical examination is necessary for the purr, but many medical interventions There are certain consequences to a cat's life. One of these consequences is vomiting.
After the operation. Any surgery medical treatment directed at an animal requires anesthesia. Each cat is individual and responds differently to the use of sedatives.
The anesthesia administered to animals is different from the anesthesia used for humans. Fluffies are given drugs that suppress sensitivity. During operations, the eyes of cats remain open.
No qualified veterinarian can determine how a cat will recover from anesthesia. Some purrs come to their senses within an hour after operations and begin to behave. active life, while others leave for a long time, painfully, with nausea and profuse vomiting.
The main thing you need from the owner is not to be scared. To understand that everything is in order with your beloved domestic troublemaker, shine a flashlight into his eyes. Hold your eyelids so that the cat does not instinctively close his eyes. When exposed to light, a cat's pupils (even those in an unconscious state) dilate.
If the pupils do not react, you should sound the alarm and take your pet back to the clinic. In other cases, provide rest to the purr recovering from anesthesia. At this time, cats' heart rate slows down and blood circulation decreases. What to do:
- Cover the animal with a warm terry towel.
- Massage your furry's paws to improve blood circulation.
- If the cat leaves after sterilization, do not place it on chairs, sofas, or good beds (or lay waterproof diapers for animals under it). After castration, cats spontaneously pass smelly urine - this is the remains of hormones.
- When the cat wakes up, take it in your arms and warm it with your own warmth.
Vomiting after anesthesia is common. The cat may vomit bile (if the animal does not eat before the operation). Do not force water/feed a weakened animal. Kotofey himself will decide when to eat. In difficult times, your pet only needs peace of mind, warm conditions and the care of a loving person.
Vaccination. The purr needs to be regularly vaccinated against dangerous diseases. Modern veterinarians use drugs top quality, not causing dangerous consequences in animals. But complications are possible. After vaccination, cats begin to vomit for a number of the following reasons:
- Kotofey was vaccinated during an illness.
- There is an allergy to a component of the vaccine.
Slight vomiting, loss of appetite, fever, and lack of interest in food are observed in a vaccinated pet in the first 2-3 days after vaccination. This is fine. But if vomiting continues for a long time, and other symptoms get worse - hurry to the vet!
Such consequences are evidence hidden diseases, which became more active after vaccination.
Vomiting due to natural causes
Pregnancy. A pregnant cat almost always feels sick and vomits. When the cat future mommy waiting for replenishment, her uterus is significantly enlarged. The growing organ compresses and displaces the internal parts of the body.
The constricted stomach reacts with nausea and vomiting. During pregnancy, a real hormonal riot occurs in the cat's body, which also affects the state of well-being.
After giving birth, the cat vomits due to eating placenta (if the purr ate too much of it). At this time, the animal also experiences diarrhea. Such symptoms disappear after 1-2 days. Otherwise, you should seek help from a doctor.
Representatives of the cat family have a curious use of the gag reflex - feeding newborn kittens. A nursing mother cat, feeding her babies with semi-digested food, accustoms the little ones to eating the main food of predators - meat.
Continuation of the family. Every animal strives to procreate. These urges are inherent in nature at the genetic level. Your pet periodically goes into heat. Puberty comes at different times.
The earliest heat (at the age of 3-4 months) occurs in Abyssinian and oriental breeds. But a Sphynx cat first encounters the call of nature at 6-7 months.
But regardless of the onset of estrus, the female should be born at the age of 10-11 months. Fluffies come into heat 2-3 times a year (the British and Scottish breeds are less likely to torment the owner with the whims of behavior during this period).
During estrus (especially in the estrus stage), the animal may vomit. Estrus is an immediate estrus, during this period the animal changes dramatically hormonal background. A violent surge of hormones causes gag reflexes. Vomiting during estrus is rare and stops after mating.
From overeating. TO normal phenomena refers to vomiting undigested food. Some purrs are gluttonous – don’t overfeed them! Fluffy gluttons come out with excess food after eating after 20-30 minutes. “Vomitive food” is vomited into undigested pieces covered with a thin film.
Purr vomits if a curious cat swallows a thread, chews the remains of a newspaper, paper, chews and swallows parts of toys. Cats are curious creatures and taste everything. This reflex goes away after an hour, and the animal again becomes active and alert.
Keep an eye on the fluffy so that the cat doesn’t eat the bones or feast on it dangerous products(medicines, pesticides). And then the owner will encounter vomiting consequences much less often.
Vomiting due to illness
The gag reflex accompanies many feline diseases. How to understand that your pet is overtaken by a disease and dangerous nausea? Associated signs and symptoms tell the story of a disease. What ailments cause vomiting?
Viral infections. Viruses provoke severe diseases in domestic fluffies, leading to fatal outcome. The sources of fatal diseases are sick animals and potentially dangerous virus-carrying animals (they excrete microbes in excrement, urine, saliva).
The most dangerous viral diseases in cats are rabies, herpes, calicivirus and coronavirus infections. Aujeszky's disease, feline immunodeficiency and panleukopenia.
Contributes to the spread of diseases cohabitation healthy animals with sick ones, participation in exhibitions (with large crowding of animals). The cat gets sick from poor nutrition, long trips and during independent walks on the street. 
Dangerous symptoms:
- A sick animal does not eat anything.
- Purr sneezes and coughs heavily.
- Profuse vomiting with blood clots begins.
- Profuse salivation. The cat is choking on saliva.
- A sick cat is lethargic, she does not play, she lies all the time.
Gastrointestinal diseases. For stomach diseases in mustachioed pets, it is noted wide range signs. With gastrointestinal pathology, the animal constantly feels sick and vomits profusely. A sick pet loses weight despite having a normal appetite.
You can understand that a cat has lost weight by feeling the spine - when it loses weight, it stands out in all anatomical features.
Vomiting in gastrointestinal diseases is a constant symptom. Blood, bile, food debris, and hairballs are found in the vomit. Some animals stop eating completely and don't drink anything, while others eat constantly.
The sick animal vomits heavily. Another extreme also occurs – constipation. The unfortunate pet cannot go to the toilet for several days. This occurs due to large clumps of hair and foreign objects entering the stomach (they clog the organ). This phenomenon leads to the development intestinal obstruction and death of the animal.
In purring cats, there are two phases of the disease: chronic and acute. More often, owners are faced with chronic infestation. All cats are susceptible to the disease, even indoor cats that do not walk. You can determine how infected your beloved pet is with worms by the presence of the following signs:
- Deterioration of coat condition.
- Alternation severe diarrhea and constipation.
- Poor health (lethargy, reluctance to run and play).
- Appetite – absence or excessive increase in appetite with simultaneous weight loss.
- Itching anus. The animal, trying to scratch an itchy place, “rides” its butt and rubs against objects.
- Profuse vomiting (especially in the morning). The vomit may contain worms.
Cats have to take prescribed medications (for diarrhea, for illnesses). Just like people, purrs can react inappropriately to taking a pill. Vomiting occurs most often:
- After antibiotics. The strongest drugs prescribed to cats for a number of dangerous diseases. Uncontrolled use of these drugs causes severe complications in the animal, leading to death.
- From Metronidazole. Antibiotic with a mild effect. The medicine is prescribed for the treatment of diarrhea, cystitis, gangrene, and after difficult childbirth.
- From Duphalac. A laxative intended to relieve constipation in animals. If the cat does not accept Duphalac, veterinarians prescribe similar remedy- Lactusan.
- After anthelmintic. Typically, such drugs do not cause or provoke nausea and vomiting. The animal may be vomited if the medicine is counterfeit or the cat has clogged its stomach the day before foreign objects(ate a flower, wool, gnawed on a toy, slippers). The dewormer has an irritating function; if it enters the stomach filled with foreign objects, the drug provokes vomiting.
Often, owners of furry cats notice that their pets feel nauseous from dry food. This happens when the cat is very hungry and tries to quickly fill its belly with food. Dry food enters the stomach unchewed, in lumps. It quickly swells in the gastrointestinal tract, and the cat rejects excess food.
Sometimes it happens that dry feeding is not suitable for a cat (manufacturers add a lot of chemicals to it). Problems begin for your pet after taking cheap feed such as Whiskas, loose food and expired food. 
What food doesn't cause nausea? Any food can cause a gag reflex, even the famous Royal Canin or Chicken Formula. Be sure to alternate dry food with natural food. Make sure you always have the feeder with you clean water. Change the type of food regularly.
The animal should be transferred to another feeding correctly and smoothly. Over the course of 2 weeks, add the new food to the usual one in small portions and monitor the cat’s well-being. The animal reacts to a change in diet with digestive problems.
To avoid vomiting, add probiotics (drugs that stabilize intestinal microflora). Such remedies include Smecta and chamomile decoction.
Vomit color
The color of vomit tells a lot to an attentive and intelligent owner. pet. To preliminarily determine the problem that is tormenting the purr, pay attention to the color and composition of the vomit:
| Vomit | Cause |
| White foam | Vomiting on an empty (hungry) stomach. Nausea with white foam is normal. Pets get so sick in the morning, when the bowls are empty, and hunger takes its toll. No pathology |
| Transparent slime | Mucus in the vomit indicates the presence helminthic infestation or chronic gastritis, viral disease. In case of illness, mucus is also present in the animal’s feces. |
| Gray mass | The gray mass indicates that the cat is not suitable for food or switching to new look feeding occurs too suddenly |
| Green liquid | Vomit acquires a green color when intestinal filling is mixed with its contents. Green vomit indicates problems with the liver, gallbladder and intestinal obstruction. More often the animal vomits at night |
| Red liquid | Is your cat vomiting blood? Pay attention to the brightness of the color: pink, scarlet vomit or dark, the color of coffee grounds. If your pet vomits pink liquid or scarlet-colored vomit, there are wounds and damage to the esophagus, mouth, and pharynx |
| Black liquid | Vomit brown liquid with an almost black color indicates an admixture hydrochloric acid in vomit. This is a sign of gastritis, a tumor, or foreign objects entering the stomach |
| Yellow liquid | Bile has a yellow color. Normally, it should not be in the stomach. Presence of bile in vomit gastric juice speaks of liver problems and gallbladder malfunctions |
| Vomiting fountain | Unstoppable sudden vomiting called "phantom". Vomit is ejected over a long distance. Nausea of this type signals a complete blockage of the stomach. The causes of the phantom are tumors, increased ICP, brain diseases, encephalitis and thrombosis |
| Vomit with feces | Vomiting of feces is rare. This dangerous signal indicating that the cat has peritonitis or serious intestinal injury |
How to help an animal
Before vomiting, the cat experiences increased nausea. The animal moves restlessly, chaotically, not finding a place for itself. The pet meows pitifully and licks its lips. Just before vomiting, increased salivation is observed. 
After 10-15 minutes, the purr begins to cough, stretching its muzzle forward and tilting it. Breathing is frequent and deep. At this time, contractions occur in the stomach and vomiting begins.
If nausea persists, owners should limit their furry cat's food intake. You should not force water an animal.
Vomiting is a dangerous phenomenon; in severe cases, it leads to dehydration and death. The following symptoms indicate that your cat is dehydrated:
- Gums become sticky.
- Increased viscosity of saliva.
- The eyes are sunken and hollow.
Try lifting an area of the animal's hairless skin and immediately releasing it. When dehydrated, the skin area slowly returns to its original shape. The owner of the purring dog should know what to do and how to provide first aid to the cat (if a visit to the veterinarian is postponed).
You should show your pet to your doctor when vomiting occurs too often (more than 3-4 times a day), accompanied by high temperature and the depressed state of the pet.
Medicines
To prevent dehydration of the cat, give the fluffy a solution of Regidron. Regidron can be replaced with salted water (a teaspoon of salt per 8 liters of water). At severe vomiting Give your pet Enterosgel or Atoxil (regidron is not effective for severe vomiting).
When your pet stubbornly refuses to drink and is very weak, you will have to arm yourself with a syringe and give the cat injections of Ringer’s solution every day. Helps intramuscular injection Tserukala or No-shpy. At frequent vomiting Treatment is carried out with antiemetics:
- Bismuth preparations.
- The medicine Torekan, Phenothiazine and Paspertin helps.
If the cause of vomiting is poisoning, the cat should be given water activated carbon– an excellent adsorbent. Single dose drug: one carbon tablet per 10 kg of pet's weight. The product is dissolved with water and injected into the animal’s mouth using a syringe (without a needle).
At severe conditions Purring is given a course of drips with the addition of glucose and ascorbic acid. These methods cleanse the body and relieve the cat of intoxication. If your pet is poisoned, you must put it on a special diet:
- The food is soft and puree-like.
- Feeding in fractional small portions.
- As soon as the animal improves, the cat is gradually transferred to meat food.
If vomiting does not go away within 2 days, the animal should be taken to the veterinarian immediately! At severe lesions The doctor prescribes a blockade of the purring tract with antibiotics and sulfa drugs.
Folk remedies
The famous rice water also copes with its task in treating furry pets. In the fight against vomiting, herbal decoctions (chamomile or flaxseed) become indispensable assistants.
Herbal decoctions are given 2-5 times daily, 1.5-2 tablespoons. If the purrs overweight– the dose is doubled.
At home, when your pet begins to get better, give your fluffy soft boiled meat. But switch from a therapeutic diet to a permanent diet delicately, gradually adding familiar foods to the menu.
Prevention
It is easier to prevent every disease than to waste time, nerves and money on treatment. To avoid an unpleasant “vomiting” situation, follow the following preventive rules:
- Vaccinate your pet against viral diseases annually.
- Choose high-quality food for your purr, balanced in minerals and vitamins.
- Every three months, worm your fluffy - give the cat anthelmintics.
- Pass annually preventive examination at the veterinarian.
- Regularly thoroughly comb your furry friend, freeing the animal from excess hair.
- Grow grass - by eating grass, animals cleanse the gastrointestinal tract and heal the body.
- Keep cat toys, accessories and household items (beds, nail polishes, houses, bedding) clean.
- Buy cat toys made from quality materials - without toxic substances in the composition. Mice, jumpers, and balls must be solid and durable.
- Do not leave small objects lying on the floor - a curious pet will definitely swallow them.
- Keep threads, needles, buttons, bobbins away from cat eyes in inaccessible places.
- Make sure your pet doesn’t get close to the trash can, New Year’s tinsel, indoor flowers and plants.
- Don't feed your cat before traveling.

Nature has taken care of all living organisms on earth and cats are no exception. She gave animals a gag reflex as a defensive reaction from external factors and impacts. What does it mean if a cat vomits? yellow liquid? There can be many reasons for this process, let's take a closer look.
Yellow foam and vomiting - what does it mean?
The gag reflex is a special defense mechanism of the animal, which is a simultaneous contraction of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm. Sharp jump intra-abdominal pressure provokes the release of gastric contents outward through oral cavity. The cat is vomiting yellow liquid. This may be due to disturbances in the functioning of the pancreas and stomach, pathologies of the gallbladder and its ducts, diseases of the liver and kidneys.

In most cases, it is bile that colors a cat's vomit. yellow. The admixture of bile appears brightly yellow and a specific smell, these signs are difficult to confuse with something else. The causes of cat vomiting lie in diseases of the liver and choleretic tract.
A similar gag reflex can occur after eating stale or low-quality food, as the load on the liver increases significantly.
The cat vomits very often fatty foods power supply, which is also associated with overload internal organs– liver and gall bladder. Antibiotics have a depressant effect on the liver and can cause a gag reflex with bile. Overdose of any medicines may cause yellow vomit with foam or mucus.

Attention! The cat is vomiting white foam, the provoking factor in this case is hunger. After all white foam- this is the result of the chemical interaction of protective mucus from the walls of a hungry stomach and oxygen from the surrounding air.
Yellow vomit with foam and blood may occur due to internal bleeding in the intestines, stomach or esophagus of an animal. With a tumor or ulcerative formations in the vomit, along with foam, bloody streaks will be present. If the shade is scarlet and uniform, this means that blood is secreted into the upper section Gastrointestinal tract – pet’s mouth, larynx or esophagus.

Be sure to tell us what the cat was sick with before and whether he has chronic diseases when and what vaccinations he received. The doctor needs all this to collect anamnesis and make a correct diagnosis. The following procedures may also be required for diagnosis and treatment:
- Ultrasound of internal organs;
- gastroscopy;
- X-ray, incl. contrasting;
- blood test;
- laparotomy (an incision in the peritoneum to access the internal organs).
In some in rare cases Before treating vomiting in a cat, it must be provoked to cleanse the stomach of a foreign and/or toxic substance. This can be done in the same way that people use: press on the root of the tongue. Another option is to force the cat to drink a lot of water or aqueous solution table salt, but not hydrogen peroxide, which causes burns to the mucous membranes in cats, although this method can often be found among folk recipes from vomiting in cats. After your cat has recovered, continue to monitor his habits and eating behavior. Only with such a careful approach can you cure vomiting in a cat and prevent it from recurring.
