My cat is throwing up and has marks on her face. What's going on?

Unless the oily substance was a toxin and absorb through the skin it is likely nothing that would cause the vomiting. It is more likely that she ingested something while she was outside that caused gastrointestinal upset. There is always the chance that she may have eaten foreign material which could be causing the problem. If she only vomited the one time and is her normal self I would not worry too much and just monitor her for now. If she continues to vomit, becomes lethargic or does not want to eat her food then I would recommend taking her into a Veterinary Clinic to be examined and to have further testing performed such as blood work and x-rays. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

It sounds as Sia 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 her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

It could be a severe skin infection or an acute allergic reaction. I would recommend a vet check up so that she can get some treatment on board. These reactions can be quite painful and cause itchiness. Vomiting could also be a sign of allergic reaction, leave water down but no food until you see your vet. I would arrange a visit this morning, if possible.

It sounds as Cara 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 her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong.

Hi, thanks for your question. It's unusual to see vomiting and coughing at the same time, although it's possible. Typically, though, the cat is just retching and nothing is coming up. It's likely, especially if your cat is bringing up stomach contents from time to time, that this is solely a GI problem. Vomiting can have a number of causes. Depending on how old your cat is, whether it goes outside, etc, one possibility might be more likely than another. Here are some possibilities: parasites, food intolerance/dietary indiscretion (eating something that made her sick), exposure to a toxin, a blockage either in the stomach or intestines, kidney disease, liver disease, diseases of the pancreas, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. As you can see these are all very different diseases. Your vet can help you figure you what's going on with a good physical exam and some tests, probably blood work and x-rays to start with. Get your cat seen as soon as you can.

Poor Miss Kitty! It sounds like there are two things going on with her, the eye infection and whatever is causing her to vomit. The eye infection is clearly causing her pain and distress because she is pawing at the eye, and she could damage her eye with her claws. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it is an emergency as leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. Her vomiting could be caused by a stomach illness, foreign body, dietary indiscretion, inflammatory bowel disease, and metabolic disease among many other causes. She really needs to see a vet now for both of these issues, and I urge you to take her into a vet immediately to get treated. I hope this helps.

This is enough concerning things to warrant a trip to the veterinarian. The hair loss may be due to allergies, to fleas or food, or environmental contaminants. The vomiting could be related to hair loss or food allergy and the vocalization can certainly indicate pain. She may have a number of conditions, including a urinary tract infection, always suspect when their toilet habits change abruptly. The best first step is going to see the vet for an exam and labwork. based on those results, the vet will be better able to determine the reason for the cat's illness and get her started on the correct treatment.
