I really need some advice or maybe just a bit of support. We're feeling pretty helpless with our little furball, Luna. She’s a six-year-old tabby, and for the last few months, she’s been throwing up almost every single day. We’ve been to the vet more times than I can count, and they keep running tests, but everything comes back normal. We've tried changing her diet, thinking it could be some sort of food sensitivity, but no luck there either. She's still active and playful, which is the only thing keeping me slightly sane, but each morning I wake up terrified I'll find her sick again. Has anyone else been through something similar? I'm at my wit’s end and just want to help her feel better. Any thoughts or advice would be so appreciated. Thanks, guys.
Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your cat is having tummy troubles. Frequent vomiting can be frustrating, but let's see if we can figure things out together.
Cats can vomit for various reasons. Sometimes it's as simple as hairballs from grooming. If the vomit contains fur, this could be the cause. Other times, certain foods might not agree with their tummies, or they might eat too quickly. Stress or changes in the environment can also upset their stomachs.
At home, consider feeding smaller, more frequent meals to see if that helps. Make sure your kitty has plenty of fresh water to prevent dehydration. Brushing your cat regularly can reduce hairballs, and maintain a calm environment to minimize stress.
Keep an eye out for red flags like vomiting accompanied by lethargy, diarrhea, or weight loss, as these might signal a more serious issue. Also, if your cat is vomiting persistently, or if you notice blood or bile, it's time to seek veterinary attention.
I recommend booking a video consult with us here at Dial A Vet. We can discuss your cat's symptoms more thoroughly, review their diet and lifestyle, and decide on the next best steps together. Looking forward to helping you and your furry friend!
