My cat ate paint, vomited, and now seems lifeless. Is it serious?

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The symptoms Chiolfe is showing can be caused by intoxication indeed. Please, take him to your local vets today, as it sounds that he is struggling a lot. There are no remedies that you can give him at home, so the sooner you take him to your local vets the better for your cat.

Time will tell with this one. Since she's eating, drinking, and not lethargic, you certainly don't need to seek emergency care tonight. If tomorrow she still seems out of sorts, or continues to vomit, I would recommend scheduling a vet appointment for exam and x-rays of her abdomen. Good luck and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

It's really difficult to know for sure without being able to examine her. Given that she hasn't eaten for two days and is lethargic and vomiting, I have to recommend that she be seen by a vet as soon as possible. This could indicate a severe disease, or toxin ingestion. In both cases, her condition can diminish rapidly if not treated soon enough. If you have further questions or need further clarification, then you may consider having an online consult with one of our vets on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This way, you can send unlimited pictures and have a text conversation with a vet. I hope that helps and Nibbler gets better soon.

Hello. This is very concerning because your first thought is that both kitties got into something toxic. Until proven otherwise, I truly urge you to get Momma in to your vet as soon as possible. She is not depressed. She is very sick & it would be tragic for you to lose her as well. I hope she is feeling better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Baby. Poor boy! It's very serious that he's vomiting and is in pain. Unfortunately there are no pain medications you can give him. Many human ones are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. The best thing you can do for him is take him into a vet immediately to get this treated. Best of luck.

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach. With your description I would strongly suggest having her examined by a veterinarian as an emergency. If she ate something toxic this needs to be addressed immediately. I hope she improves and gets better soon! The sooner you take Chichi to the vet the better as she could have eaten something potentially fatal.

This is a medical emergency, and you cannot do anything at home for Kitty. He has to see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
