My cat is vomiting, meowing loudly, and acting unusual. Is he okay?

Vague behavior changes like you are describing can be the first sign of illness in an older cat, so if you feel something is wrong I would encourage you to see your veterinarian again. Blood work might be recommended to rule out kidney or liver disease. The vomiting could be a sign of inflammatory bowel disease or even an intestinal mass and if the blood work is normal an abdominal ultrasound might be recommended. Finally, the vocalizing and hissing could be a sign of pain from something like arthritis and there are some supplements and now pain medications that can be used in cats.

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.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Amy. She should see her veterinarian if possible. The are many causes of vomiting in cats, but what worries me is that she seems painful based on your description. In the meantime, offer her small amounts of water so that she does not become dehydrated. Rest her stomach for several hours and then offer her a few bites of food to see if she will keep it down. I hope this information helps!

These signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver). He may experience nausea at this stage. 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. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Oh no, poor Jiya sounds quite ill! If she cannot meow like normal and is vomiting after eating, she could have a foreign body in her throat preventing her from using her voice normally and keep food down. She could also be suffering from a respiratory infection causing the loss of her voice and vomiting. She needs to see a vet for this first thing in the morning. The vet can diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated.

Those are very concerning signs - panting in a cat is always worrisome, because it normally indicates either difficulty breathing, or extreme pain or stress. Vomiting, crying, and acting lethargic are all signs that he is very sick. I would be concerned about a serious problem such as an intestinal obstruction, liver or kidney failure, exposure to something toxic, or even a bladder obstruction - this is unfortunately a very common problem in neutered male cats, and can cause the symptoms you describe. I would recommend having Max seen by an emergency vet tonight - he/she can palpate his abdomen to check for any abnormalities, and will probably also do blood work and x-rays to help determine the problem.

Hairballs and vomiting in cats are quite common but the preceeding nausea can cause distress and vocalisation. I would not be immediately concerned when he has otherwise returned to normal. Many diets and supplements are available to reduce the incidence (but may not be 100% effective in full protection although they do help)
