Cat Vomits Transparent Thick Liquid
Cat vomiting transparent thick liquid is considered to be caused by reasons such as indigestion, parasite infection, hairball syndrome, gastritis, feline distemper, intestinal obstruction, etc. It requires treatment through oral medication and surgery. Active cooperation with the doctor can alleviate the physical discomfort caused by the disease. If the condition worsens, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, otherwise, it will affect the treatment effect.
- Indigestion
If a cat drinks and eats excessively for a long time, it will affect the speed of gastrointestinal peristalsis, causing food to accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract. If this condition is not improved in time, it may stimulate the secretion of too much stomach acid, resulting in vomiting and presenting with transparent thick liquid. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take digestive enzymes to improve the condition.
- Parasite Infection
When the gastrointestinal tract is infected with parasites such as roundworms and tapeworms, they will breed in the gastrointestinal tract, occupy the space of the gastrointestinal tract, and affect the intake of other foods, leading to vomiting. The vomit is relatively thick and transparent. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take parasite-control medication.
- Hairball Syndrome
Cats are clean-obsessed and will clean themselves, swallowing hair in the process. When hair accumulates in the gastrointestinal tract, it can cause chronic vomiting. Vomiting transparent liquid is common in this condition. Cats need to be given hair removal paste to improve the situation.
- Gastritis
If a cat has been diagnosed with gastritis, it is usually necessary to adjust the diet, eat less and more frequently, and avoid overeating. If the owner often feeds the cat too much food, it can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing an increase in stomach acid content, resulting in vomiting of transparent thick liquid. The liquid itself is relatively sticky. Under a doctor's guidance, medication to protect the gastric mucosa can be taken.
- Feline Distemper
This is an acute infectious disease characterized by high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. After eating, it may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing persistent vomiting. The vomit is transparent and thick. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and take antibiotics and antiviral medications.
- Intestinal Obstruction
Intestinal obstruction will cause food to be blocked in the intestine, affecting normal eating. After eating, vomiting will occur, presenting with transparent thick liquid. Surgery is needed under a doctor's guidance.
During treatment, it is necessary to adjust the diet, eat less and more frequently, and avoid overfeeding the cat. When feeding cat food, it is necessary to soak the cat food until it softens, which is beneficial for absorption and digestion by the gastrointestinal tract.
