Hi everyone,

khan last night vomited twice, first time was solid, but was obviously part digested (it was in the middle of the night, so a long time after eating), and the second was clear and yellow.

after he came and sparked out on the bed, and didnt move until i gave him a fuss this morning, which is quite unusual for him.

hed been up for about 10 minutes, and i said the infamous "well if hes sick again..." and on cue, he went to the same place in the room and threw up again, clear yellow fluid as before.

my initial thoughts were hairballs, but having had cats before, they almost always threw up after eating, with lots of solids in the vomit, they also were mostly unchanged in behaviour, and khan is moping around the place a bit.

should i be worried? or does he just have a hairball and acts differently to my moggits?
Any advice is much appreciated

Kate

I would echo this going from my past experience with a cat vomiting out of the blue. Its my hang up because of losing a cat to sudden kidney failure which started with vomiting. It was a totally different experience to the usual undigested food scenario, where as you say the cats bounce back straight afterwards. If Khan seems a bit sad and sorry for himself best to get him checked in case something is aggravating his tummy.

I hasten to add that my case was extremely rare but I would always seek medical attention now just to be on the safe side. I'm sure little Khan will be absolutely fine, let us know

You're just up the road from me in Stoke so thought it worth mentioning that both my 2 are a bit mopey at the moment in this muggy weather, and (apart from the obligatory mad half hours) are moving around much less and throwing themselves down on the floor!

well he is still in a foul mood, but hes been a lot more active this past couple of hours and hasnt been sick again.

i hadnt really considered the weather, but it has been very muggy so it could well be to do with that, he was so floppy this morning i was very concerned but now that hes running around, (even if it is accompanied by a grumpy cat!) im a little more reassured,

As he hasnt been sick again im going to leave him for the time being, make sure he has plenty of fluids and watch his activity levels, if hes ill again or goes back to being the worlds floppiest cat ill get him to the vet

thanks guys!

My 2 are so floppy and lazy today its so funny! And I just walked down the post office and met a fat old tabby who was lazing in the shade looking in a foul mood

Aww poor things. Isra was panting yesterday after playing very hard with her ball, I stroked her with a cool flannel and all was fine.

Poor little things, I hope it cools down for them soon! My 2 are just laying around all day, molting their body weight in fur all over my newly washed bed linen
