Cat Digestive Problems
The vomit forms a part of the natural system of defense of a cat, because it allows him to eliminate an excess of food or something bad that he has eaten. There are cats (specially the hunters) to which is normal to vomit a couple of times per week without being sick.
Sometimes, a kitty can return worms, which indicates that his treatment against internal parasites has neglected. However, if a cat starts returning with more frequency of the normal thing and in the vomit there is blood (with aspects of coffee bean) or the cat slims, there can be a secret problem, as an intestinal obstruction or a tumor. It is necessary to do that the veterinarian sees the problem without delay.
Violent vomits
There are several forms of gastritis that can provoke violent accesses of vomits. If our cat returns two or three times in a short period of time, it is that close him in house and to give him small quantities of water. If he also returns it, it is advisable not to give him liquid for 8-12 hours, In order that the stomach stabilizes itself and then give him a dipper of water every 30 minutes: it is important not allowing that the animal should be dehydrated. Do not allowing him anything of eating until 8 hours since the last time that he vomited; then, give him only a small quantity and monitor closely what happens. If the cat continues being sick and neither he admits the water, it is necessary to take him immediately to the veterinarian. The kitties and adult cats that there are not vaccinated can get the infectious feline enteritis. In the most acute form of the disease, the cat has frequent and serious accesses of vomits, diarrhea and abdominal pains. The feline enteritis is always mortal. It is also very infectious and the best way of preparing her is the vaccination.
Very rarely they can present vomits when the cat has swallowed some small object, as a piece of rag or of plastic that obstructs the intestine. If you believe that this is the reason of the vomit, he can need X-Ray, an endoscopy or a surgical exploration to locate and to extract the object. This problem is much less frequent in the cats than in the dogs.
Sometimes, a cat returns the food before this one gets to the stomach; it is a kind of "sauce". Sometimes the cat returns to eat it, thing that many owners find disgusting. When it is in some cases, this is because that the cat has eaten too fast and it is not necessarily important. However, if it happens often there can be a problem: you must consult with the veterinarian.
