My cat is throwing up blood and acting normal. Should I be worried?

Hello, sorry to hear about Aster. It sounds like your cat could have something in his intestines such as a linear foreign body. However, other causes of this could include infections with parasites or viruses. It sounds like Aster could require immediate medical attention and be hospitalized. He should be evaluated by his veterinarian immediately. Hope this helps and best of luck.

vomiting that frequently is not normal. The blood can be from an ulcer or acid reflux or rupturing of a blood vessel due to the retching. Frequent vomiting can be due to a food allergy or intolerance to an ingredient or inflammatory bowel disease. You can start by changing to a novel protein/hypoallergenic diet to see if this help. If the pattern continues then you will need testing such as an ultrasound or biopsy to find the underlying cause for medication to help control the symptoms.

Poor Sebastian! While this vomiting could be caused by his food, if he's been on it a while, then it's more likely caused by something else. Vomiting and blood in the stool can be caused by a severe GI illness, a foreign body, severe intestinal parasite infection, GI ulcers, or exposure to toxins. Because blood in the stool is not normal and can be caused by serious illness, it would be best that he is taken into a vet now for an exam. The vet can diagnose what is causing the vomiting and bloody stool, and can treat him for it.

Hello! My name is Dr. Shines and I am worried about Beans. I agree that looks like blood from the photo. Just like humans, throwing up blood can indicate a real problem. Any time a pet vomits blood, they need to be examined by the veterinarian. I recommend to have Beans examined today. Vomiting blood could be due to a bleeding ulcer, severe infection, severe parasites, bleeding disorder, severe pancreatitis, cancer, a foreign object or poisoning. This may not be an exhaustive list. Sometimes it can be related to rupturing a blood vessel from severe vomiting. In that case, medication is given to protect the damaged tissue until it can heal. Bring in a sample of fresh stool for testing. Fingers crossed it's something on the less severe side and that Beans recovers quickly! And please feel free to check back in with any further questions.

I can see that the vomit has blood in it, which can be caused by stomach ulcers. Dark feces can also be an indicator of digested blood in the stool, which occurs with ulcers. Ulcers can be caused by a number of underlying conditions such as chronic foreign bodies, diet, or kidney disease. The sneezing can be a sign of pain or unrelated to the vomiting (concurrent upper respiratory or lung disease). I recommend having your cat seen by a vet right away. They will likely recommend bloodwork and x-rays to diagnose and localize the issue and begin an appropriate treatment plan. I hope all is well and am happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Hello. Vomiting and blood in the feaces could be signs of a mild gastritis, or could be much more severe. If the poop was very big and hard, then the vomiting could be secondary to Wally being constipated. If the poop was soft and liquid then he could have a gastritis. If he is eating/drinking well, and just had one episode and is back to normal, you can monitor him for now, but if he is lethargic, still vomiting, and if the blood gets worse or continues, then I would bring him to a vet. Good luck with Wally.

I am sorry matcha is not feeling well. I would recommend trying to find a veterinarian and take him in as soon as possible. Vomiting with blood can happen secondary to gastric upset , toxins and even foreign material. It is best he gets looked to determine the cause and provide proper treatment. In the mean time I would offer good and a bland diet to help calm his stomach. I hope that helps
