The solution is to let the cat eat small, frequent meals, reduce the fasting time, and make the gastric juices digestible food.

2. Hairballs

It is normal for cats to spit hairballs occasionally, and cats use their tongues to brush their hair every day, and in the process, they will inevitably swallow some hairs and spit them out.

However, if your cat is throwing up hairballs frequently, you need to take steps to improve it.

A more effective measure is to groom the cat every day and comb the floating hair in advance to reduce being swallowed by the cat.

Feed cats 3 to 5 cooked egg yolks per week. Egg yolks are rich in lecithin, which can break down fat and sticky hairballs in the cat’s stomach. Acetylcholine contained in egg yolks is an important neurotransmitter that can effectively increase The peristaltic ability of the gastrointestinal tract so that the hairballs can be expelled through the intestine more quickly.

3. Undigested or Partially digested Cat Food

The cat vomited shortly after eating cat food, the vomit was rectangular, and the cat food particles were basically intact. This is usually the case for two reasons:

The second reason is:

4. Parasites

If you find white, translucent thread-like objects in your cat’s vomit, it may be a parasite. The parasite has been vomited out, and the situation is already serious, please seek medical attention in time.

If the vomit has red blood, it may have gastritis, or the intestinal wall or stomach wall was cut or stabbed by a swallowed foreign body, and it needs to be sent to the doctor for diagnosis in time. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove the foreign body.
