My cat just ate a few Cheetos. Will he get sick? What to do?

If Louis has had no more diarrhea or vomiting, he is likely ok. If he continues with either, or if he stops eating or becomes very lethargic, you should schedule an examination with your vet to get him on some medications to make him feel better. Try to give only cat-specific treats and not cheetos as clearly they do not agree with Louis' tummy!

Hello, sorry to hear about Cheeto. I would watch him for continued episodes of vomiting or if he develops any lethargy, decreased appetite or diarrhea. Things we worry about with sudden onset or persistent vomiting in cats include dietary indiscretions, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ingestion of foreign material, obstruction or a mass which is probably the least likely in a young cat. If his vomiting persists or gets worse overnight, or if he develops any other signs then I would definitely bring him to an emergency clinic. You should not attempt to feed him today and then offer boiled chicken and rice tomorrow in the morning. Hope this helps and best of luck.

I would recommend seeing a veterinarian if Rocco has vomited more than once. Hot Cheetos could certainly cause stomach upset but I would be concerned that part of the trash bag could be causing an obstruction if you are seeing pieces of the plastic as well. The vet might recommend an x-ray of Rocco's abdomen to rule out an obstruction and can also give medication to stop the vomiting.

Felix just sounds like he feels terrible. Feed him 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 his normal diet. If he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. It wouldn't congeal enough to cause a blockage or anything serious. It may cause him to vomit or have diarrhea though, because this is quite a rich meal. I wouldn't worry if he vomits once or twice, but if he is vomiting more than that for longer than an hour, then it would be best to take Zuko to a vet, because he can get dehydrated and have electrolyte imbalances with excessive vomiting. Below is a link with some more helpful information about vomiting and when a vet may be necessary. https://www.petcoach.co/article/diarrhea-vomiting-in-dogs-when-to-call-your-veterinarian/ For now, it's best to give Zuko's stomach a rest and not feed him again until the morning; but make sure he has plenty of fresh, clean water available. I hope that helps and all is well with Zuko.

You may see some stomach upset (vomiting or diarrhea) in the next few hours. As long as Miska is behaving normally, you can try withholding food for 24 hours. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to the regular diet afterwards. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, persistent vomiting or diarrhea and abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

A small chip will likely not result in anything more than some minor gastrointestinal upset, if any. GI upset, with no other symptoms can usually be managed at home with a 24 hour fast followed by a bland diet until symptoms resolve. Always keep human foods out of reach and limit table scraps to occasional small tidbits, if at all.
