What should I do if my cat vomits yellow liquid and has diarrhea?

Cat vomiting yellow liquid and having diarrhea may be caused by indigestion, parasite infection, pancreatitis, or other reasons. In addition, if your cat's vaccines are not fully administered, you should also consider the possibility of feline distemper infection. Regardless of the cause, frequent vomiting and diarrhea are very dangerous for cats, so it is recommended that owners take their cats to the pet hospital in a timely manner for examination, including testing the cat's blood and stool, taking abdominal X-rays, and performing ultrasound examinations to diagnose the cause and take corresponding measures for treatment.

  1. Indigestion

If a cat eats too much or too fast during meals, or if the food it eats has gone bad, it can easily cause indigestion and lead to vomiting and diarrhea. Therefore, owners should always pay attention to the hygiene and eating habits of their cats. Control the amount and eating speed during feeding, regularly change food, and pay attention to keeping the food fresh to prevent indigestion.

  1. Parasite Infection

If owners do not regularly deworm their cats, a large number of parasites breeding in the cat's body can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Sometimes you can even find worms in the cat's vomit and stool. Therefore, owners can observe the cat's vomit and stool, and if worms are found, it indicates an internal parasite infection. In this case, owners need to worm their cats promptly. Normal deworming intervals are once every three months for internal deworming and once a month for external deworming.

  1. Pancreatitis

If owners do not pay attention to scientific feeding and give cats high-fat, high-calorie, or other inappropriate foods, it can increase the risk of pancreatitis and other diseases, resulting in frequent vomiting, diarrhea, or even bloody stools. Touching the cat's abdomen will also have a significant resistance reaction. Therefore, if a cat has abdominal pain, especially accompanied by the above symptoms, pancreatitis should be a priority consideration, and the cat should be taken to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

  1. Feline Distemper

If a cat's vaccines are not fully administered and is accompanied by fever, loss of appetite, and lethargy, it may be due to feline distemper virus infection causing vomiting and diarrhea. In this case, it is recommended that the owner first take the cat to the pet hospital for a feline distemper virus test, and then diagnose and treat accordingly.
