Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about your cat. I'm here to help you make sense of these troubling symptoms. Diarrhea, vomiting, and shaking can be caused by a variety of issues, from something minor like dietary indiscretion or stress to more serious concerns like infections, toxins, or other medical conditions.
Let's start with possible causes: A sudden change in diet or ingestion of inappropriate foods can lead to upset stomach and diarrhea. Stressful events, like changes in the household, can also affect some cats this way. However, symptoms like shaking might suggest something more concerning, like a fever, pain, or a neurological issue, which requires closer attention.
For safe at-home care, ensure your cat stays hydrated by providing plenty of fresh water. You might try offering small amounts of a bland diet, like plain boiled chicken, to see if it helps settle the stomach.
It's important to monitor your cat closely. If you notice worsening symptoms, signs of dehydration (like sunken eyes or lethargy), blood in the stool or vomit, or persistent shaking, it's crucial to seek veterinary attention promptly.
I'd suggest booking a video consult with Dial A Vet soon, so we can further assess your cat's condition and advise on the best next steps to take. Your cat deserves to feel better quickly!
