My cat threw up, not sure what it could be?

I have had experiences in the past when my cat who had hairballs quite often,she would throw one up often so what your describing does sound like a hairball,when mine threw them up she would often throw up her food later and even foam she would then eat grass and it settled her stomach,so if you have any kitty grass offer him some,

but it may be he has another hair ball lingering they are persistent and cats often have a second smaller one after bringing up one usual sized one,if you don't have any hair ball paste you can use Vaseline it is safe and affective and many vets use this tip,just place some on his paw and he will lick it off this helps him to pass it the other end,

let him eat when he feels he can stomach it as only he knows if he can manage it,my cat would often not want food for a few hours after her hairballs then go back when she felt peckish i always let her decide after all i felt she knew if she felt to sick to eat,so if she wanted i let her judge as they wouldn't eat if in pain or feeling rough,

like you i always say take to a vet but when you cant get there for a few hours then we cant help it,so try him with the Vaseline on his paw cats like the taste usually so will lick it off,this has worked for me in the past when i have run out of the special paste,but by what you say about him it does sound very much like hairballs, i have seen all you mention in your question many times,

throwing up juice and clear liquid the amount of times i have seen a brown puddle on the floor left by my cat after she has had a hairball problem,she lived to be 15 i did get her the paste from a pet store and i showed it to my vet, he said it was the exact same ingredients as they use so was safe and affective,but was also told Vaseline is just as affective so try it if you have some,

he may be better in a few hours as they do recover but hairballs can make them queasy,so let him eat kitty grass to settle his stomach,hope all this helps and he is feeling better soon.

Yes it probably is a hairball. If so you could get something called cat grass, maybe you have heard of it? It is a dietary supplement to help aid digestion. It is referenced below. If you are unable to get this then you could get an ordinary house plant which is non-toxic to cat's (many are so do your homework!) for him to chomp on. Other than a hairball i am unsure of what this might be, have you been transitioning him to raw very slowly? If transition is made too quickly it can make a cat ill, but i'm sure you know that. Also if raw food is too cold it can make a cat ill when it hits it's stomach, so run the food under a hot tap before you serve. You could feed him some cooked chicken in water, with or without rice, to settle his stomach. As regards to when should you let him eat again, i would just feed what i suggested at his normal feeding times for the rest of the day and see how he goes. But if this continues i would take him to the vet. In any event let me know how he is.

I agree that it could just be the hairball. I would go get some hair ball medication and give it to him. If he is eating, drinking and going to the bathroom I would not rush to the vet. Just wait at least 24 hours and see if he is still vomiting. If so, then take him to the vet.

Hi there, I am definite that used to be no longer a first-rate revel in for you OR your kitty. If this had been my cat, he could be off to the vet within the morning to be handled for anything parasite he's sporting. Take the malicious program with you to the vet, of path, and a stool pattern. Your vet can be equipped to prescribe the proper remedy that works for the targeted parasite that your cat has. Whatever this malicious program is, your desire to nip this within the bud whilst your cat remains to be showing healthful. Don't wait till he starts to exhibit signs of a malicious program infestation. Good good fortune together with your kitty, Troublesniffer Owned through cats for over forty years Member; Cat Writer's Association.
