My cat won't eat, vomits clear liquid, and hides. What to do?

There could be several things that is causing your cat to vomit. Some of the more common things that cause vomiting and anorexia in a cat are gastritis (inflammation of the stomach wall), pancreatitis, intestinal parasites, and irritable bowel disease. I would withhold food from your cat for about 24 hours to give the stomach some time to rest. If she is continuing to vomit or still not eating after this, then I would recommend taking her in to see your vet. They can give her nausea medication and fluids if she is dehydrated. They may also recommend blood work and X-rays if it is indicated. Good luck.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I’m sorry to hear Cuppy isn’t feeling well. If she isn’t eating, I recommend taking her to a vet to find out why. Cats cannot go more than a few days without eating. They will start by doing a physical exam and will likely recommend lab work to see how her organs are functioning and the status of her red and white blood cells. They may also run a thyroid test to determine if it’s over-active. The vet may need to take radiographs of her abdomen to rule out a foreign object or other abnormalities. Once a diagnosis is made, they should be able to give her some medications to help her feel better. Good luck and kisses to Cuppy!

It sounds as Jixie is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get as it does sound serious, 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.

Hi there and thanks for posting on PetCoach! I am sorry to hear Queeny doesn't feel well. There is really no way to know for sure what Queeny's health issue may be without examining her and running some diagnostic testing (such as blood work, x-rays) on her first. The symptoms you have described (loss of appetite, vomiting, pale gums) are symptoms of a variety of illnesses Queeny's veterinarian can help diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is established, a treatment plan for Queeny can be established. There are no real home remedies for these types of symptoms and is best treated at a veterinarian's office. I have included a link below on ways to help afford veterinary services, as I realize paying for vet expenses can be a challenge. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html

Shadow is a cutie. If he isn’t eating well for several days I strongly recommend a vet visit. Cats can stop eating whenever they don’t feel well which could be anything from a mild infection to a more serious disease. Since he has now started vomiting he may become dehydrated quickly. A veterinarian can perform a physical exam and then make recommendations on what other diagnostics or treatments they might recommend to help Shadow. I hope he’s better soon. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Poor kitty! She could have a severe GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, a foreign body, or pancreatitis. I can give you a home remedy to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!

It sounds as Mukie is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.
