My cat is vomiting and weak. What should I do if he ate rice?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 3 days old

My pet cat bhukkad is very energetic and playful but from yesterday he seems to be very weak and sleeping most of the time. Yesterday he accidentally went outside when it was raining. Now he is vomiting and feeling weak. Also I have a doubt that he has eaten some rice grains while playing yesterday. Is rice dangerous for him? What should I do now... Please help..!!

It sounds as Bhukkad 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.
