Why is my cat throwing up grass and white foam for 24 hours?

Aw poor Simba! I'm sorry to hear he's sick! It would be a good idea to have him checked out by a veterinarian to ensure he does not have an intestinal obstruction, infection, or other cause of vomiting and decreased appetite. He may need injections to stop his vomitng and fluids to rehydrate him. I'm concerned that 4 days of not eating can cause serious illness in a cat so the sooner he sees a veterinarian the better. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and I hope Simba is feeling better soon!

Poor Sonic! If he's been vomiting every day for a month, a vet visit is definitely warranted as this is not normal. He may have a GI problem such as chronic pancreatitis or a foreign body in his stomach, a systemic illness like hyperthyroidism or chronic kidney disease, or may have an allergy or intolerance to something in his diet. Your veterinarian can do some diagnostic testing if needed to help determine what is causing the vomiting and get him started on appropriate treatment.

It sounds as Lucah is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

Poor Simba! There are many things that can cause cats to stop eating, so I wouldn't necessarily assume this is due to a hairball. Simba could have a GI problem like pancreatitis or an intestinal obstruction, a systemic illness such as liver or kidney disease, or may have ingested something toxic. If he hasn't been eating since Tuesday, this is very concerning and warrants an immediate vet visit. If your regular veterinarian isn't open, then I would recommend taking him to an emergency clinic today to be seen. The veterinarian there can do blood work and x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and see what kind of treatment is needed.

I'm sorry to hear that Dylan is experiencing so much vomiting. If it is still continuing, he will need to see his veterinarian. Profuse vomiting can have several causes, but the most worrisome is a foreign body obstruction. This occurs when a cat eats something such as a hair band, a piece of string or a toy. It then becomes blocked in the intestine causing the cat to vomit. I hope this information helps!

Hi, and thanks for your question. These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics and possibly further investigations (like abdominal imaging as ultrasound or radiographs) may be needed.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kami. She needs to see a veterinarian as it sounds like she has had a significant amount of vomiting. She is likely dehydrated by now. Depending on her exam findings, diagnostic tests such as blood work and x-rays may be discussed. A treatment plan, including fluids to rehydrate her, will be formulated. She could have eaten a foreign object that is causing an obstruction in gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal infections or generalized inflammation can cause vomiting as well. Older cats are more prone to kidney and thyroid disorders. Unfortunately, there are many possibilities depending on her age and history. I hope this information helps!
