Hi there! I'm sorry to hear your kitty isn't feeling well. Vomiting can be a common issue in cats and could have several causes. It's possible that your cat is having a reaction to Animax ointment, especially if it's used in an area where your cat might have accidentally ingested some. Cats often groom themselves, which can lead to ingestion of topical medications.
There are other potential causes for vomiting too, like eating something they shouldn't have, sudden changes in diet, stress, or even underlying health issues.
For now, you can help by making sure your cat stays hydrated. Offer small amounts of water frequently. If they're refusing to drink, try offering them ice cubes or diluted chicken broth. Additionally, keeping their food bland for a day or so might help, like boiled chicken and rice.
Keep an eye out for signs that could indicate a more serious problem, such as ongoing vomiting, lethargy, diarrhea, blood in vomit, or any changes in appetite and behavior.
If your kitty continues to vomit or shows any concerning symptoms, it would be wise to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We're here to guide you and ensure your furry friend gets the care they need.
Animax Ointment: 3days in cat has vomited 3x
I'm really hoping to get some advice here because I'm kind of freaking out. My cat, Whiskers, has been dealing with a skin irritation and the vet recommended we use Animax Ointment on the affected areas. We've been applying it for the last three days and I thought things were going smoothly. However, Whiskers has thrown up three times since we started the treatment, and I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence or if it could be a reaction to the ointment. Whiskers is still eating and drinking, but he's definitely not his usual energetic self. I’d really appreciate any insights or if anyone has had a similar experience with their fur babies. Thank you so much in advance!
