My cat is throwing up right after eating and it doesn't appear to contain a hairball. Does vaseline help? I don't think the cat is gulping down his food.

I've changed from a larger size pellet to a smaller one and one that's for sensitive stomachs. Asked by kona6706 57 months ago Similar Questions: cat throwing eating hairball vaseline help Recent Questions About: cat throwing eating hairball vaseline help Pets > Cats.

I ask this because my cat inhales her food if I get home late and she's very hungry. She throws it right up and you can tell she hasn't chewed it. I feed her very small meals when I get home late.

A little when I get home, a little later. Three meals and she slows down. When it's just a little amount, she doesn't throw up.

I wouldn't try anything without talking to your vet first. No, I would not use Vaseline under any circumstances (other than expressly told to by my vet). What you're witnessing can easily be a sign of a number of issues going on with your cat.

It sounds like there could be some sort of digestive tract issue, or maybe even just a plain-old upset stomach bug. ...Or you could have a needy kitty (is your cat a Siamese by chance? ).

My cat does this now and then, not because she's ill...but because she doesn't want any other cats to have a taste of the food. So she eats the whole bowl's worth, takes two steps, and throws it all up (imagine if you ate an entire pie or large pizza in a sitting, you'd do the same! ).

She also tends to do this when she wants attention - oy! Plus, switching her food up may make things worse for a bit. Switching pet foods suddenly will often cause nausea and vomiting.

So give the vet a ring, have her looked at real quick. And then both you and she will feel better! .

Sick Kitty - We had the same problem and put his food on a large metal pizza pan scattered all over the pan - we also only gave him 1/2 the normal amount and fed a few more times a day - this really helped - Even though we thought he wasn't eating fast he was taking in too much air. Hope it works for you Sources: Personal experience .

Vaseline is a petroleum product! Vaseline is a petroleum product! It is not for ingestion by anything alive!

There are specialized gels and foods for hairballs (although you said there is no hairball). It could be that he is eating too much, too fast. Feed him less food more often.

But you should probably take him to the vet and make sure it's nothing serious.

According to my vet, cats spontaneously develop an aversion to whatever standard stuff you are feeding them, requiring a diet change. If the cat eats chicken (based), try beef. The only thing to really worry about is dehydration.

Pull (gently) on the skin at the back of the cat's neck. If it snaps back, all is well. If it doesn't, your cat needs to go to the vet (soonish).

P.S. Instead of vaseline (in case of hairballs), use Petromalt! Snippet's Recommendations St. JON Petromalt Hairball Remedy (2-oz tube) Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 (based on 1 reviews) Yum, says kitties.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
