Not every cat owner has wondered what happens to a pet that vomits white foam.
They say that if this happens from time to time, then there is no need to panic. We will tell you in what cases you need to run to the vet.
A similar phenomenon in any living creature indicates problems with digestion. Only in cats is this something like the norm. Licking themselves, they swallow hair, which the body then removes through vomiting.
If the cat vomits white foam, even slightly yellowish, then most likely a lump of fur is stuck somewhere in the esophagus. This often happens after the cat has eaten grass.
When to panic
1. When a pet refuses to eat for 2 days or more and vomiting does not stop. This can happen with liver disease and is more common in neutered cats.
2. It is possible that the animal is bothered by the same hair or foreign object that got into the intestines and got stuck.
3. The reason may be the development of intestinal diseases, which can only be diagnosed by a specialist.
What to do?
Experts advise to observe your pet. If everything is back to normal after 24 hours, then there is no reason to panic.
If vomiting continues for several days, there may be a risk of dehydration, convulsions, which ultimately ends in a coma and death.
It is important to remember all the symptoms, as well as the time at which they appear - this will help the veterinarian make a diagnosis.
To help the animal and reduce the need to clean up vomit, you need to brush its fur and feed it fresh grass.
