Your cat's vomiting after trying a new probiotic could be a sign that it doesn't agree with her system. While some digestive changes can occur when introducing probiotics, persistent vomiting is a concern.
- Monitor your cat's symptoms closely
- Consider discontinuing the probiotic for now
- Consult a vet if symptoms persist or worsen
Probiotics can be helpful for digestion, but not all cats tolerate them well, especially initially. A gradual introduction is usually best, but if vomiting occurs, it's advisable to stop the supplement and assess her reaction to other foods. If vomiting continues or if she exhibits other signs of distress, consulting with a veterinarian is important to rule out other potential issues.
