Your cat's recent change in behavior, including frequent burping and appearing withdrawn, can be concerning and may indicate an underlying health issue.
- Watch for other symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea.
- Monitor her eating and drinking habits.
- Consider stress or dietary changes as possible factors.
Burping in cats is less common than in dogs, and it usually occurs due to ingesting air or having an upset stomach. If your cat is also acting withdrawn, it may be a sign of digestive discomfort or another ailment. Reassess any recent changes in her diet or environment that could contribute to stress or gastrointestinal upset. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it could be indicative of a more serious condition that warrants a vet's attention.
