What if a cat vomits undigested cat food?

Causes of vomiting undigested cat food:

1. Overeating: When a cat eats too much, it may cause vomiting of undigested cat food. The owner should feed the cat appropriate amounts of probiotics and digestive aids, and give the cat measured meals daily to prevent indigestion.
2. Gastrointestinal diseases: Cats with gastrointestinal diseases may also vomit undigested cat food. Owners should take their cats to the vet for inspection and treatment.

How to deal with vomiting undigested cat food:

1. For young cats who haven't completed their vaccinations and are showing symptoms of feline distemper, coronavirus, or food intolerance-induced gastroenteritis, or who are vomiting due to overeating, feed the cat small, frequent meals.
2. For elderly cats who have completed their vaccinations and have adequate antibodies, consider internal diseases such as pancreatitis, liver, or kidney disease.

In all cases, it is recommended to take the cat to the vet for diagnosis and treatment.

Symptoms of feline distemper:

Young cats without vaccines are prone to infection with feline distemper virus. Early symptoms include lethargy, loss of appetite, and sometimes fever. Then, the cat begins to vomit and have diarrhea, with severe foul-smelling stools. The cat may eventually develop hemorrhagic diarrhea and severe dehydration, which can be fatal. To prevent infection, get your cat vaccinated as soon as possible.

How to deal with feline distemper:

1. Feline distemper, also known as feline parvovirus or feline leukopenia, is a contagious disease with clinical manifestations of vomiting and diarrhea.
2. If diagnosed with feline distemper, seek veterinary treatment promptly. The treatment plan includes:
   • Supportive therapy: Replenish the cat's lost fluids, correct blood acid-base balance and ion levels.
   • Antiviral therapy: Use interferon and monoclonal antibodies to interfere with virus replication and binding, thus achieving a therapeutic effect.
