My cat keeps throwing up right after eating, should I be worried Dial A Vet?

My cat has been throwing up right after eating for the past two days, and I’m starting to feel quite worried. He seems to be eating with the same enthusiasm, but not long after, he can't keep his food down. I’ve tried changing his food and giving him smaller portions, but nothing seems to help. He’s acting a bit more lethargic than usual, and it breaks my heart to see him unable to keep his meals down.

Answer

If your cat is throwing up right after eating for two days and acting lethargic, it might be time to consult a veterinarian.

  • Frequent vomiting
  • Lethargy or fatigue
  • Changes in appetite or enthusiasm
  • Potential dehydration

When your cat vomits soon after eating, it can be distressing for both you and your pet. This could be due to a variety of reasons, including dietary indiscretion, food intolerance, or even a more serious condition like gastritis or an obstruction. Cats often hide their discomfort well, so additional signs like lethargy can signal something more serious. It's crucial to observe your cat closely and seek professional help. Early intervention can prevent potential complications such as dehydration or more severe illnesses.
