My Cat has been throwing up lately?

Question

sometimes after meals. I have taken her to the vet and they say she is fine. Most of the time it is not hair, just almost like a yellow fluid. Any help?

Answer 1

she maybe has like eaten to quick or maybe..... your house is to hot for some reason..

Answer 2

What kind of food do you feed your cat? Dry? Wet? Does your cat get special treats or milk or people food? Have you put any new plants in your house that your cat might be nibbling on?
Is your cat eating to fast?

We got our cat some wheatgrass and some Catsip which is a milk for cats that is lactose free. Seems to help because she only does it when she has a hairball now. Which is rare because we also buy a hairball remedy food formula.

Goodluck.

Your cat may have a bactiria infection or has digested somthing that doesnt agree with her intestinal tissue. Remember that sometimes the vet doesnt always know best. to me it sounds like stomach fluid or bile. Here is some info that i looked up for you:
Causative Agents: Some of the more common causes of vomiting include ingestion of grass, hair or other substances that are indigestible and irritating to the stomach, overeating (especially if immediately followed by heavy exercise), and motion sickness. Infectious parasites, viruses, bacteria, and some problems with the internal organs of the body may also cause a cat to vomit.

Certain drugs and toxic substances will cause vomiting if ingested. These include the following:

Insecticides
Pesticides
Cleaning agents
Antifreeze (Ethylene glycol)
Lead
Zinc
Arsenic compounds
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) -aspirin and ibuprofen
Clinical Signs: Vomiting refers to the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth. Vomit may contain: food in various stages of digestion, bile (a brown, green, or yellow-colored, rather sticky liquid), blood, or any combination of these three. Types of vomiting that may indicate a more serious problem and would certainly warrant professional assistance include the following:

Regurgitation: Regurgitation is actually not true vomiting; it is more passive in nature. The food is often expelled undigested and possibly shaped like a tube or cylinder. Violent abdominal heaving is usually absent. Regurgitation can occur with a blockage in the upper digestive tract or a problem with the animal’s ability to swallow.


Continuous vomiting: The cat first empties its stomach of food, then begins to vomit foamy yellow or clear fluid. Vomiting which does not stop within a couple of hours is considered continuous. This situation often indicates stomach irritation.


Hacking/vomiting: This is a condition when vomiting is usually preceded by a coughing or hacking fit. The vomit may contain food or stomach juices. This type of vomiting may be secondary to a respiratory problem in which a coughing or hacking fit becomes severe enough to lead to vomiting. Some cats seem more susceptible to this condition than others. Please see page E122 for additional information on coughing.


Chronic vomiting: This is a situation where vomiting occurs now and then, is not predictable or constant, but continues over a period of weeks to months. It may or may not be associated with eating. Other symptoms of chronic illness may also be noted such as weight loss, poor appetite, and a general lack of energy. Kidney and liver disease, diabetes, and cancer are some of the more serious possible problems. Untreated parasite infections are also a possible cause of chronic vomiting.


Projectile vomiting: Vomiting is unusually forceful, and stomach contents are often expelled a long distance. This type of vomiting is suggestive of a complete blockage in the digestive tract such as some type of ingested object, a tumor, or scar tissue in the digestive tract lining.


Vomiting blood: Fresh blood in the vomit indicates that damage has occurred to the internal lining of the upper digestive tract. Bleeding ulcers, foreign objects, and tumors all have the potential to cause an animal to vomit blood. Certain types of drugs may also cause bleeding from the stomach.


Vomiting stool: Vomit which looks and smells like a bowel movement often indicates an extremely serious, life-threatening situation. Complete blockage of the lower intestines and/or severe trauma to the digestive tract are often suspected. Consider this symptom an emergency!


Vomiting in conjunction with neurologic symptoms: Vomiting in an animal experiencing frequent seizures, paralysis, or balance problems (circling, rolling, head tilting), is probably related to a neurologic problem. Correction of the primary neurologic problem will likely correct the secondary vomiting problem.
Diagnosis: Diagnosing the cause of vomiting may or may not be easy, depending on the state of the animal when presented to the veterinarian. Coupled with a physical examination, a thorough history on the cat is essential in determining the cause of vomiting. The doctor may elect to approach the situation conservatively with a temporary restriction in food and water intake. Diagnostic testing such as radiographs and bloodwork may be advised in other cases. More invasive diagnostics such as endoscopy (a camera on the end of a fiber-optic tube placed inside the animal’s digestive tract), contrast-enhanced radiography (dye placed inside the animal’s digestive tract and the progress of the dye is followed with the help of radiographs), fluoroscopy (a moving radiograph), or surgery may be necessary if the diagnosis is especially difficult to make.
I hope that all works out for you i really do! -addy

Answer 4

If it continues, let the vet know again. Give him the canned food if you don't already, to help keep some fluid down, or tuna juice.

Answer 5

Some cats just over eat and throw up. Feed her a little bit of food more often, rather than feeding her a lot of food twice a day, or whateer you are doing. That way she can not over eat.

Answer 6

Take the cat to another vet for another opinion,a animal hospital is a real good place to take any animal.

Answer 7

Some cats are alergic to red food dye - which is used in most cat foods. check the label, and buy xomething without it. If she stops puking, then hopefully that was the problem!

Answer 8

I have no idea what it could be, but I'd go to another vet and get a second opinion.

Answer 9

Take it to the Vet. Animals get sick too!

Answer 10

try feeding her purina one for sensitive systems or she may just be like a cat of mine who is just greedy and eats too much

Answer 11

The cat might has asthma. I had a cat that did that.
