Vomiting transparent liquid with white foam in cats

There are many causes for a cat to vomit transparent liquid with white foam, such as internal parasite infection, poisoning, eating something bitter, and gastrointestinal reactions. Therefore, when this situation occurs, the owner should first determine the cause and take corresponding measures for treatment based on the specific causes of the cat's vomiting.

The causes and treatments for cats vomiting white foam-like liquid are as follows:

1. Vomiting transparent liquid with white foam due to internal parasite infection

If the owner does not routinely give the cat internal and external deworming, it is easy for the cat to be infected with internal parasites, such as tapeworms and roundworms. Generally, the cat exhibits symptoms such as vomiting transparent or foamy liquid, soft or loose stools, and bloody stools. In this case, it is recommended to collect the cat's feces and go to the pet hospital for a fecal examination to determine the type of parasite. Then, use specialized cat internal deworming drugs for deworming. If the cat resist taking medication, an internal and external deworming drug can be dropped on the cat's neck.

2. Vomiting transparent liquid with white foam after poisoning

When a cat accidentally eats toxic substances, it may show symptoms of foaming at the mouth and convulsions. In this case, it is recommended to induce vomiting in the cat, and immediately go to the hospital for gastric washing or enema treatment. Simultaneously, inject antidote needles and replenish fluids to accelerate toxin metabolism.

3. Gastrointestinal reactions causing vomiting transparent liquid with white foam

Cats experiencing cold, bacterial or viral infections may exhibit gastrointestinal reactions, mainly including lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is advised for the owner to take the cat to the pet hospital in a timely manner for inspection and use medication for symptomatic and causal treatment.

4. Vomiting transparent liquid with white foam after eating something bitter

When a cat eats something bitter, it will produce a large amount of foamy secretions in the mouth. This is a normal situation, and the owner does not need to be overly concerned. Rinsing the cat's mouth with clean water can help it recover.
