Any ideas or reassurance on my cat's GI issues?

Hello there! I'm sorry to hear that your feline friend is dealing with gastrointestinal (GI) troubles. Let’s go through some common causes and what you can do at home.



Cats often experience GI issues due to dietary indiscretion, food intolerances, or stress, but it can also be linked to more serious conditions like infections or even inflammatory bowel disease. Observe if there’s any recent change in diet, as sometimes cats react adversely to new foods or treats.



At home, ensure your cat has plenty of fresh water to prevent dehydration—offer small amounts frequently, especially if vomiting or diarrhea is present. You might consider providing a bland diet, like boiled chicken and rice, for a couple of days to see if symptoms improve.



Keep an eye on signs like persistent vomiting, diarrhea lasting more than 24 hours, blood in vomit or stool, or any unusual lethargy. These could indicate a more serious issue needing immediate attention.



To get personalized advice and peace of mind, I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet professionals. They can help assess your situation more thoroughly and guide you on the next best steps for your cat’s health.
