My cat vomited undigested food and has green stool. Should I worry?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be observed with gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, food sensitivity, foreign body ingestion and obstruction or other conditions such as pancreatitis or kidney disease. I am concerned that she is becoming dehydrated. I do not think this is because of the fish. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include abdominal imaging and general bloodwork. Treatment would be based on findings. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend switching to a different food such as a hydrolyzed protein diet and feed this for the next 4 weeks to see if this makes a difference. I would also add in a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora, which can be found online or at your local pet store. If the vomiting persists or worsens, I would recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Hi there. I would have Kunsel seen by a vet. Vomiting and loose stool can be caused by a reaction to food, parasites or a virus, but when it's been going on for a few days she does need treatment. Your vet will be able to find out what's causing it and get her on meds to get her feeling better. She's very small and can become dehydrated quickly, so having her seen sooner than later is a good idea. I hope that helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Stress can definitely cause changes in eating, drinking, and stool habits, however the green color makes me worry that there may be an underlying health issue as well. Green stools can sometimes indicate issues such as too-fast of transit time in the bowels (so the normal bile isn't broken down into its usual brown color), liver or gall issues, pancreas issues, illnesses caused by bacteria, or ingesting something that is greenish or dyed in color. I would offer Keanu a bland diet of some boiled chicken to see if that helps resolve the diarrhea (and give him some extra attention and care, since cats deal with loss and grief just as much as people) and continue to monitor his stools. If the diarrhea or strange stool colors continue, bringing Keanu and a sample of his stool to your vet is a good idea to rule out more serious issues.

Wednesday could be having many different issues that could range from a virus to pancreatitis. I would try to feed her a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice. Make sure she is drinking water and observe her for any further vomiting/diarrhea or lethargy. If she is continuing to be sick tomorrow, I would recommend to take her into the vet for an exam and some bloodwork. The doctor can also give her medicine to help her feel better. Best of luck with Wednesday!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can occur from many conditions such as kidney disease, pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Peaches evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. This will likely require bloodwork and abdominal imaging in terms of diagnostics. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least your veterinarian could start him on medications to make him feel better. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good day!

Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A loose stool & vomiting together can quickly lead to a pet becoming dehydrated. In addition, I would guess that Nesta is not eating well, & a cat that stops eating for even a few days can actually begin to develop some liver issues. So yes, Nesta should be evaluated by your veterinarian. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Take care.
