My 16-year-old cat is throwing up food. Is turmeric safe for him?

It sounds as Tiger is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to medication you gave him. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

Poor Sweetie! In older cats, I would be concerned that the vomiting is caused by kidney disease, inflammatory bowel disease, a foreign body, or intestinal lymphoma. I would take her into the vet first thing in the morning. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, a urinalysis, x-rays, and possibly an ultrasound to determine what is causing her vomiting. Once the cause is found, the vet can recommend a possible treatment.

Vague behavior changes like you are describing can be the first sign of illness in an older cat, so if you feel something is wrong I would encourage you to see your veterinarian again. Blood work might be recommended to rule out kidney or liver disease. The vomiting could be a sign of inflammatory bowel disease or even an intestinal mass and if the blood work is normal an abdominal ultrasound might be recommended. Finally, the vocalizing and hissing could be a sign of pain from something like arthritis and there are some supplements and now pain medications that can be used in cats.

Marley is a very handsome boy! I'd have him checked out by a vet for a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis. In senior cats, there are medical conditions that can cause vomiting such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease, and those tests I mentioned above can screen him for them. Should he have one of these, the vet can discuss treatment options with you. Please have him seen by a vet in the next few days. Best of luck.

Vomiting in cats is very complex and it is not always easy to figure out why they do it. Three most common diseases that older cats get are thyroid disease, kidney disease and diabetes. All of which can cause vomiting and all of which can be ruled out with simple blood testing. I suggest you refer to this article and then speak to your vet about starting some testing start with blood tests. ( https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/vomiting-in-cats )

I'm sorry that you are dealing with this with Laundry. There are a number of anti-nausea medications that can be helpful for Laundry. And if your veterinarian has not recently checked his blood work (including a thyroid level) and blood pressure, I would certainly recheck those values to make sure that they are normal. Then, you can discuss the best anti-nausea medication with your veterinarian to help Laundry feel better. They will not want to do a teeth cleaning on him if he is not feeling well, so be sure to have them evaluate Laundry and solve this problem first. Good luck! I hope that was helpful.

No, I wouldn't give him any OTC medications because human ones are not appropriate or safe for cats. Because Socks is throwing up often, he should see a vet as this is not normal. In an older cat vomiting combined with still having an appetite can be caused by medical diseases such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or kidney disease to name a few. He should see a vet in the next day or two for a physical exam, geriatric blood panel, and urinalysis. Should a medical cause be found for his vomiting, the vet can discuss treatment options with you. I hope this helps, best of luck!
