Thanks for the question! It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation with your cat. Vomiting after taking medication, especially antibiotics like doxycycline, can sometimes happen. This could be due to the medication irritating your cat's stomach or a sensitivity to the formulation.
Here are a few tips for managing this at home: Try giving the medication with a small amount of food. This might help buffer the stomach and make it easier for your cat to keep it down. Always check with your vet, as some medications should not be given with food. Also, ensure the medication is given at room temperature; cold liquids can sometimes cause discomfort.
Watch for signs that may suggest a more serious issue, such as repeated vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, or diarrhea. If you notice these, or if your cat can't keep the medication down at all, it's crucial to follow up with a vet. However, before switching or discontinuing any prescribed medication, a veterinarian's advice is necessary.
I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. They can provide real-time advice tailored to your kitty's needs and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
