Cat / local Philippine cat - Answered 1354 days ago
My cat started vomitting 4 days ago and his bowel is also soft. He has lost his voice due to vomitting but he would still eat continously. I stopped giving him food but gave him water with dextrose powder instead. He started feeling better, he would only poop once but still vomits what he intake. I realized he got some terrible colds and I think he might have sore throat since he lost his voice. Now, I gave him erceflora orally, lots of water with dextrose powder and cold syrup. He is still vomitting when he eats but he was still eating a lot than before. Is it really colds or should I be alarm and need to turn him over to the vet? What are the other home remedies that I can do. Since,it's pandemic, we are only allowed to go out following the curfew.

Well since you are aware about the depth of the condition, I would like to give you some important instructions. Step 1: Remove all food for at least 12 to 24 hours. Don't remove your cat's water, though. He should always have access to fresh water. Step 2: If the cat's vomit contains blood or is frequent, contact the veterinarian immediately. If not, proceed to Step 3. Step 3: After 12 to 24 hours, feed the cat a mixture of small quantities of boiled chicken breasts, skinned and boned, with rice (50:50 mixture). Alternately, chicken baby food may be substituted. If this is held down, a transition to a regular diet should take place over the next two days by mixing in regular cat food, reducing the chicken and rice amounts and increasing the regular cat food amounts. Step 4: Vomiting can be a sign of many diseases. Do not be fooled into thinking that it is just fur balls. If vomiting continues on a frequent basis, professional help must be sought. Try to follow this protocol.
