Cat's been throwing up every morning before breakfast. Is this normal or should I call Dial A Vet?

Every morning, just before breakfast, my cat has been throwing up, and I'm starting to get a little worried. It’s become a regular occurrence, and I’m unsure if this is just a habit or something more concerning. Is this something that happens with cats, or should I be contacting Dial A Vet for advice on what steps to take next?

Answer

It's concerning that your cat vomits regularly before breakfast. This could be more than just a habit, so it's important to assess their health and consider professional advice.

  • Morning vomiting may indicate underlying health issues.
  • Regular vomiting isn't a typical cat behavior.
  • Consulting a vet can provide peace of mind and necessary care.

Cats may vomit due to various reasons such as hairballs, dietary indiscretions, or more serious conditions like gastrointestinal disorders. If it's happening regularly, it could signify an issue that requires veterinary attention. Adjusting feeding times or trying a different diet might help, but a veterinarian can offer personalized advice after a thorough examination.

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.
