What to feed a cat who is vomiting yellow fluid
Yellow vomit in cats usually requires the use of pet-specific anti-vomiting medication, but it is necessary to preliminarily determine the cause of the vomiting based on the frequency of vomiting in cats, and then carry out symptomatic treatment. If a cat vomits once and then stops vomiting and has a good spirit, it is usually sufficient to stop feeding and drinking for 4-5 hours before resuming normal feeding. If the cat has continuous vomiting and poor physical condition, it is recommended to take the cat to a pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

What should be done after a cat vomits yellow fluid?

If the cat's vomiting is not severe, provide liquid food or easy-to-digest foods such as nutritional supplements or canned food.
