My cat has been vomiting off off&on all day and so far has't eaten,what could be the prob?

Answer 1

Hi there...vomiting can be caused by many variables such as hairballs, gorging food too quickly, switching foods suddenly, accidental ingestion of toxic substances, kidney/liver failure...other feline diseases/disorders. Cats who are unable to eat can develop a life-threatening disorder called hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver syndrome) http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=1&cat=1327&articleid=217 so it's important to have your cat evaluated to determine the cause of the vomiting before hepatic lipidosis occurs.

Answer 2

Depends on what the cat is vomiting...if the cat hasn't eaten all day, then I'm assuming that he's vomiting that smelly yellow stuff? That could be pretty serious...get the animal to a vet tomorrow at the latest. A cat can dehydrate in just 8-10 hours and that means a dead cat!

Please bring your cat to the veterinary hospital IMMEDIATELY! because your cat may be suffering from Panleukopenia or Enteritis virus. The feline panleukopenia virus is passed from cat to cat by direct contact. The first signs a owner might notice are generalized depression, loss of apetite, high fever, lethargy, vomiting, dehydration and hanging over the water dish. The course of the disease may be short and explosive. Feline panleukopenia is a complex disease. it can vary in severity from very mild to extreme. the many sighns are not always typical and many owners may even believe that their cat has been posioned or has swallowed a foreign object. After exposure to the virus, many of the cat's cells are destoryed. this cell loss makes the cat more susceptible to other complications and bacterial infections.

fever will fluctuate during the illness and abruptly fall to subnormal levels shortly before death. other signs in later stages may be diarrhea, anemia, and persistent vomiting.

the veterinarian will provide nutrien and prevent secondary infection with antibiotics and fluid. Good luck and please bring your cat to the veterinary as soon as possible.

Right now, your kitty is in danger of getting seriously dehydrated becuase of the constant vomiting. Any number of things can cause these symptoms, from food allergy to poisoning. But when a cat is chucking up the whole day, it SERIOUS. You must take her to the vet.

Answer 5

What is in the vomit? If there's a hairball then there's your answer. If it's food then maybe a blockage. Either way, a full day of vomiting leaves your cat on the edge of risking dehydration, please see the vet first thing tomorrow.
