Cat's stomach twitches and vomits yellow fluid

Cat's stomach twitches and vomits yellow fluid mainly consists of the cat's gastric juice, which indicates a relatively severe degree of vomiting. The owner should first check what the cat has eaten to see if it has eaten something wrong or poisonous. If the cat has accidentally eaten a toxic substance with a high toxicity, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to a pet hospital in time for induced vomiting, gastric washing, or detoxification.

Secondly, consider possible causes such as gastroenteritis, parasites, or pancreatitis, which may cause the cat to vomit yellow fluid. Upon discovering that the cat is vomiting yellow fluid, the owner should immediately take it to the pet hospital for inspection. Inflammation indicators, fecal examination, and pancreatitis test paper strips can be used to identify the pathogen. Self-medication with anti-vomiting drugs is not recommended.

  1. Eating the wrong thing

When a cat eats the wrong thing, it can stimulate the digestive tract greatly, possibly causing it to twitch and vomit yellow fluid. The owner should fasting the cat for half a day or a day to observe if there is any vomiting. If there is no vomiting, the cat can be fed a small amount of glucose water to rinse the esophagus and intestines, alleviate the damage to the mucous membrane caused by stomach acid, and replenish energy. If vomiting continues or there are signs of dehydration (lethargy, reduced body temperature), the owner should take the cat to the hospital promptly and communicate with the doctor about what the cat ate before vomiting, allowing the doctor to perform professional treatment.

  1. Gastroenteritis

If a cat has gastroenteritis, it may experience severe vomiting of yellow fluid, even diarrhea with blood, accompanied by loss of appetite and poor mental state. Medical attention should be sought promptly. The doctor will perform fecal and blood tests, which can show the cat's gastrointestinal and water-salt balance. Then, fluid replacement, elimination of inflammation, and symptomatic treatment of vomiting and diarrhea will be carried out.

  1. Parasites

If a cat does not have regular deworming, it may also vomit yellow fluid due to intestinal parasites. This is usually accompanied by diarrhea. A fecal examination at the hospital can identify the type of parasite, and medication for worming can be given accordingly. Depending on the condition, anti-vomiting and anti-diarrhea drugs can be used to alleviate symptoms. It is best to supplement probiotics during the recovery period to help the intestine recover.

  1. Pancreatitis

Early symptoms of pancreatitis in cats may include vomiting, vomiting yellow fluid, yellow mucus, diarrhea, and a greasy sensation on the surface of the feces, especially in overweight cats. Pancreatitis is a "silent killer" that can have a high short-term mortality rate if treatment is delayed. Taking the cat to the hospital for a pancreatitis test strip (FPL) can detect it, and treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's plan. Depending on the severity of the condition, vomiting suppressants, gastric protective agents, antibiotics, and liver protectants may be used.
