Cats are a source of fun in our lives, and many people find it hard to understand why so many people are obsessed with sucking cats, but when they really get to know them, those people all make a heartfelt sound: what a great smell! But the health of cats has always been a concern for many pooper scoopers, especially the sudden vomiting of cats! Some cats, raising and raising suddenly vomited, which really makes a lot of pooper scoopers worry to hair loss ah. The cat will vomit because it has a hairball in its stomach! To be honest, these pooper scoopers are really treasure boys, if the cat vomiting behavior is that simple it would be really good, but there are more than one or two people who think this way, so let’s first confirm that the cat vomiting and hairball connection. The hairball situation in cats is actually based on the habitual behavior of cats – using their tongues to groom their bodies, but cats have barbs at their tongues, which are like a comb, and many times they swallow their hair into their stomachs, but the hair is a presence that the cat’s gastric juices cannot give digestion, which leads to what happens? Hairball manifestations: dry vomiting, more frequent dry vomiting action is often caused by hairball syndrome, especially in the period just after eating, sometimes able to vomit some cylindrical hair mass, while sometimes it is nothing but liquid. Overeating manifestations: Some cats will show behaviors such as eating plastic bags, paper towels or grass, and will take the initiative to eat some foreign objects. Early manifestations: excrement is dry and hard, along with animal hair. Late manifestations: poor spirit, no energy, no appetite, rough and lusterless fur, constipation, no bowel movement for many days, bulging stomach, etc. Symptoms 1. Physiological vomiting Generally, cats will not vomit suddenly, but when they encounter something, some cats will actually vomit physiologically, for example: some cats will vomit when the pooper scooper makes a harsh sound and ejects dander, some cats will vomit when they smell durian, stinky tofu and other smelly food. 2. Pathological vomiting: Although vomiting is not good for the cat’s body, we would rather the cat vomit physiologically than pathologically, because pathological vomiting often means that the cat has a disease! Indigestion: When a cat ingests spoiled food or food that is difficult to digest, the cat will try to vomit it out as much as possible because the cat has a short intestine and one of the best ways to deal with indigestible food is to vomit! Food allergy: Some cats have sensitive stomachs, so if they change their food and eat some cold food, it may lead to allergy. The allergy is usually mild and there will be mild vomiting several times a week, usually about two hours after eating, and occasionally there is diarrhea. Swallowing foreign objects: Cats are naturally curious, if they suddenly encounter some small objects, whether they can eat them or not, they will want to try them, and as a result, there is a case of accidental ingestion, in this case, the cat’s appetite often becomes very poor, even do not eat or drink, will appear drowsy, vomit clear or yellow water symptoms, if swallowed sharp objects, then the vomit may contain blood. Food poisoning: For pooper scoopers who like green plants, it is very common for cats to vomit due to poisoning, for example, if these plants are planted at home: azalea, oleander, lilies, lily of the valley, cyclamen, ivy, daffodils, jasmine, petunias, tulips, peonies, etc., and the symptoms will show as breathing difficulties, vomiting, nausea, decreased blood pressure, etc. Liver and kidney problems: When the cat enters old age, it is very likely to have liver and kidney problems. If the cat does not eat bad food or vomit hairballs, it is necessary to see if it is because of diseases in its internal organs, such as liver disease or kidney disease, because once too many toxins are accumulated in the body, the liver and kidneys will react pathologically, and once the burden is exceeded, it will make the cat regurgitate and vomit, in this case In this case, the cat does not like to eat or move, and the amount of water drunk and urinated will be abnormal, if the treatment is not timely, then the cat’s life will be in danger! Parasitic problems: When there is an excess of parasites in the cat, it will cause the cat to poop and vomit, and even the presence of blood in the excrement, and vomit out not only cat food, but also other foreign substances. Gastroenteritis: If it is due to gastrointestinal disease, the cat will also vomit, vomit in addition to undigested food and foam, excrement, with a strong fishy smell or even with blood, the appearance is loss of appetite, poor spirit, these symptoms will often be diagnosed as acute enteritis! Cats are very prone to vomiting when they feel stressed or under intense pressure, such as when a cat suddenly arrives in an unfamiliar environment, or when a new pet comes into the home, such as a new kitten or large dog. In addition to these psychological problems, the cat will also have a stress reaction due to these psychological factors. In this case, vomiting also exists in cats. The response is to determine the cause and then to eliminate the cause and treat the symptoms. If it is gastroenteritis, anti-inflammatory and anti-vomiting treatment is needed; if it is hairball syndrome, it is necessary to promote hairball discharge and protect the gastrointestinal mucosa; if it is parasites, deworming treatment is needed. Note that if you find your cat vomiting, on the one hand, do not easily ignore, because this often represents the existence of the problem, but on the other hand, the pooper scooper must ensure their own calm, because there are many situations that lead to vomiting, especially pathological vomiting symptoms, must be the right medicine to cure their cats ah!
