Your cat's vomiting and subsequent loss of appetite can be concerning, especially since it’s behaving unusually in skipping meals. Monitoring its behavior is important to determine the next steps.
- Monitor your cat's hydration and energy levels.
- Consider if your cat could have eaten something unusual.
- Assess for any other symptoms such as lethargy or discomfort.
Cats can sometimes vomit and refuse food due to minor issues like indigestion or stress, but persistent symptoms may require a closer look. If your cat doesn't return to eating or continues vomiting, a vet visit is advised.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
