Avatar f tn a Vet visit is always a good idea to rule out issues like possible obstruction, but I will say I’ve occasionally seen the same with my own cats...they do tend to gobble dry food up much too fast and vomit it back up..try feeding just a few kibble at a time or eliminating all together..
1320140 tn?1277986208 I can only suggest that you take her to be examined by a different vet. Cats are known to throw up every once in awhile but not like what you are describing. I think you definitely need a second opinion.
Avatar f tn Every once and a while (maybe once a month, maybe more...) I'll need to throw up the meals I've eaten that day. Its not a nauseous feeling, just something telling me I need to go throw up. Its usually in the afternnon or evening, and it's like I didn't digest anything for the day. ALL of the food I've eatin that day comes out the same way it went in. It's almost never broken down and this is HOURS after I've eaten it.
688143 tn?1228580875 Every time any one of my cats manages to get outside no matter how briefly, the first thing they do is to munch on grass. I would not care about this except for the fact that what follows is that they always end up throwing it right back up. I'm wondering if anyone else's cats do this and know the reason why they are drawn to it to begin with? Is it because of something lacking in their diet?

Avatar n tn Most animals, including cats, will eat all they can get when they can get it because they instinctively know that they may not be able to eat whenever they are hungry. By establishing a routine of small feedings twice a day on a regular basis, you are reinforcing this instinct.
436973 tn?1217947089 So glad she's doing okay. I had a kitten eat a large piece of a tiger lily one time and afterwards I looked it up online and it said that it could shut down their kidneys. I called my vet and they told me to give her a teaspoon of hydorgen peroxide. He said it would make her throw it up - NOPE! So, I called back and they said give her another teaspoon - and still no throwing up! UGH! So, he then said to bring her in.
203342 tn?1328737207 Is it normal for cats to throw up sometimes? My oldest has always had a bit of a sensitive stomach, I think. Anytime I take her to the vet she gets sick, etc. But periodically either one of them will throw up for no reason and it looks and smells just like their dry food. Should I change their diet? My oldest is 12 years old. I don't know if it's a good idea to completely change her diet now or not. Otherwise, both cats seem healthy enough and act fine.
Avatar f tn You get a liquid that is full of sugar and you have to drink all of it within 5 minutes. Then you tell them what time you finished and they take your blood an hour later. You should drink the liquid 5 minutes before your appointment. Don't eat anything right before you drink it and don't eat or drink anything u til after they have taken your blood work.
Avatar m tn t let me go back to work, because I throw up about eveything I eat. I am trying to eat between 6-8 times a down, so I can at least try to maintain my wait. But, everytime I eat I throw up at least most, if not all, of my food. Because I am eating and drinking a lot my labs aren't showing up bad, and now my disability insurance won't pay me. I just don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn t happy at all. Cats do tend to vomit after eating fast, but this is much more common in dogs, although overeating can cause vomiting, particularly dry food. This is how it goes: the dry food absorbs water and swells, and then they have to throw it back up. If the vomit looks like a semi-solid tube of partially digested cat food, that's probably what it is. You might want to check how much you're feeding him. In addition, talk to the vet about possible IBD problems.
4456535 tn?1355894638 Is it bad that everytime i eat not too long after i have it come up as if im goin to throw up?
1305767 tn?1361192676 Hootie likes to try and suckle from my ear lobe which probably means she was weaned too soon. They both love to eat carbs (bread, muffins, donuts, crackers, pretzels lol) Only Sissy though has that weird thing of eating tape. Oh and when they were kittens Hootie would eat cat litter but she stopped doing that but she will eat cat puke, hers or Sissy's. (yuck) Cats are so weird, that's one thing I adore about them.
Avatar f tn This started almost a month ago (it will be a month in 4 days). When she did eat, she would throw it up almost instantly. It got to the point where I would come home and find several piles of puke every where. She won't eat anything now. She barely even drinks her water. I have tried all her favorites, wet food, and even baby food (ground up chicken), but she won't touch it. It's like she knows she'll just throw it up. I took her to the vet a couple weeks ago.
11029962 tn?1414696081 I always feel like I'm gonna throw up but I can never throw up what does that mean? I haven't thrown up once since I've been pregnant is that healthy?
Avatar f tn LOL This is totally normal and the catnip is not bad for cats at all. I've had lots of cats flip around and eat catnip!! I usually throw a toy for them when they roll around. It is so funny to watch them!!
Avatar f tn All this is so very true so you really must either move out or insist the cats either go, or last resort the clean up after them, they clean the litter trays if they even use them by what you are saying I highly doubt that, you do not touch Anything RELATING TO THEIR CATS & prohibit their running freely around the house especially the kitchen& your bedroom as you could be ingesting their poo ect through transfer to the work surfaces after they poo/pee they often lick themselfs clean or
Avatar f tn I have 3 cats a 3 year old and 2 11 week kittens. Not all cats carry toxoplasmosis. they say cats that eat raw meat or mice and other small rodents contract it. You can have your cats tested at vet to see if they are carriers. I rescued my oldest cat back in january i was in my first trimester, BD said he would clean her box, he never does. I got scoopable litter i scoop it out into a bag throw it away and wash hands really good. I got the kittens when they were 8 weeks old.
596105 tn?1314580333 I wouldn't stress about it yet. Does Oliver seem fine other than the throwing up? Cats will sometimes throw up 2 or 3 times a week-many times it's a hairball. They sell hairball remedies everywhere. Or, petroleum jelly(that's the main ingredient in these remedies). If you give him petroleum jelly-human formula-make sure that you read the ingredients. You ONLY want it to say petroleum or petrolatum. If it has any other ingredient do not use it.
Avatar f tn Eat something and then brush teeth
9498641 tn?1411576331 Find some type of food or liquid that fits you and help ease nausea. With my first I drank lemon lime Gatorade and ate fries and it will always help and I was sick my entire pregnancy, like horrible. But there were times I used zofran. You should ask your doctor for some they're miracles!
1232362 tn?1333135406 m not sure if they eat it because they have an upset tummy or not like dogs do, but not all cats will nosh on grass. And, not all throw it back up like dogs do.
534013 tn?1250201049 Rules for introducing cats to dogs: 1: Hide all copies of the Old Testament. There should be NO references to biblical catastrophes involving "Cat's and dogs" ie; "It's raining cats and dogs", "Cats and dogs lying down together", etc... don't let them get any ideas!!! 2: Lock up Knives. Be sure all cutlery (knives) are locked securely in drawers. 3. Local and Federal Law Enforcement. Inform your local police and homeland security of the situation.
199177 tn?1490498534 I have a 9 year old Irish Wolfhound named bugsy and Ash has two tonkinese cats puggy & ginger. It's funny to watch the cats as they jump up on bugsy and try to ride him and he just lets them. Thank God bugsy is good natured.
