Vomiting in Cats

A vomiting cat is not a happy cat. This is a very common occurrence and anyone involved with pet health and pet care will know.

THE SIGNS.

Your pet is throwing up her food or water.He may be throwing up bile on an empty stomach.You may not witness vomiting, but find the evidence on the floor.

THE CAUSES.

The list is large, although most common is garbage gut. Your cat consumes something he shouldn't resulting in vomiting. Other causes include medications ( ie Aspirin), parasites, food allergies, liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, cancer, infectious causes ( ie parvovirus), metabolic disorders ( thyroid disease, diabetes), physical obstructions ( ie a ball) and primary motility disorders ( the stomach doesn't contract normally).

SOLUTIONS

Heal your pet at home safe, naturally and effectively!!

ASSESS SEVERITY. If your pet is vomiting persistently and unable to retain even water, wait no longer than 24 hours before GOING TO YOUR VETERINARIAN. This indicates a severe problem such as an obstruction that needs to be treated with IV fluids and possibly surgery. If your pet is still drinking and only intermittently vomiting, you can try some of these home remedies.

A CUP OF TEA. Peppermint Tea is an old remedy used for upset stomachs in people. Brew up a strong cup of tea, but allow it to cool before offering it: give your dog 1/4 cup per 10lbs of body weight three times daily; give your cat 1 tablespoon three times daily .

FOOD ALLERGENS. For dogs and cats with chronic vomiting, I strongly recommend a diet change. Preferably switch to a hypoallergenic food or homemade allergy diet. At the very least, change to a premium quality food. I find that some pets respond to a more natural diet, such as Innova or California Natural.
