Vomiting in cats

If your cat vomits every day or several times a day, you should always consult a vet, as there are many serious reasons for frequent vomiting. These can range from gastrointestinal issues to other internal problems and illnesses. Vomiting can be a symptom of many different conditions and needs to be diagnosed by a vet. Only after diagnosis can your cat receive the necessary treatment.

If your cat won't eat, or can't keep food or water down, it's especially important to seek help right away. Cats are very sensitive to starvation and risk dehydration if they can't retain food or water. A cat needs about 50-60ml of fluid per kilogram of body weight per day. However, if the cat is losing fluids through vomiting and/or diarrhoea, this need can double!
