My cat has a watery eye and just vomited. Should I be concerned?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Buttons! I think it could be. If he keeps vomiting or the eye continues to tear excessively or he starts to blink the eye then he should be seen by your Vet. I wish Buttons the best!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be observed with conditions such as gastroenteritis, pancreatitis, dietary indiscretion, gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction, among other possibilities. For this reason, I highly recommend that you have Google evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as possible as I am afraid she is likely becoming dehydrated. They would be able to check for these possibilities and also check her hydration status and give her medications to make her feel better. Good luck!

No this is normal, and it could be due to an eye infection, injury to the eye, or allergies. The eye is such a delicate and important structure that any problem with it should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. I would have Cookie seen by a vet tomorrow to diagnose what is causing her symptoms so she can be treated.

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.

Little Maggie may be in the beginning stages of an infection. These are generally viral but sometimes bacteria can play a role. Its not an emergency but if she continues to have the eye issues or the lose stool for more than 24 hours, I would take her in for an exam and possible medications. A bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice may help with the soft stool. Make sure Rosie continues to drink well as these young ones can dehydrate quickly. Best of luck!

It could be that Lilly drank too much water and/or drank it too quickly, leading to her vomiting. If she isn't vomiting any further, I wouldn't be too concerned just yet but I would keep an eye on her. If she keeps vomiting water, starts vomiting food, stops eating, and/or becomes very lethargic, then I would be concerned and take her into the vet right away.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most intestinal parasites are passed fecal-orally (meaning the animal would have to eat infected stool) or from ingestion a mouse or a flea. Signs of intestinal parasites are weight loss, diarrhea and possibly vomiting or decreased appetite. The only way to diagnose worms to to physically see the adults or have a stool sample checked to see the eggs microscopically. Sometimes Vet will just treat for them, especially if they are suspicious or the cats go outdoors. You can always see if your Vet would treat with out a stool sample. I have never heard of any parasite causing excessive tearing. That is most commonly a viral upper respiratory tract infection or allergies. Sometimes cats just vomit. Other causes of vomiting are: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infections, ate something gross, ate something that is stuck, pancreatitis, intestinal disease. I hope this helps!
