cat vomitting
My cat has not ate for a few days, drinks water but then throws up. My vet
said to bring him in on monday. He did this same thing back in June and they did blood tests, xrays everything and found nothing wrong. Well, today after I got off the phone with my vets office he vomitted again but this time it wasn't clear it was dark green almost black and smelled just like diarrea. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? He's only 2 years old. |

Sounds like he has a blockage. I would take him to an emergency vet
now. nldiggs99 wrote: My cat has not ate for a few days, drinks water but then throws up. My vet said to bring him in on monday.

My vet said to bring him in on monday. He did this same thing back in June and they did blood tests, xrays everything and found nothing wrong. Well, today I had to go back and find the OP on this, and if the cat had the same problem in June, and recovered on its own, and is now sick again, I'd think it's something other than a simple obstruction. It is recurring. So what can cause a recurrance? A tumor not removed would only get worse if it's malignant. Hairballs? A passed hairball would provide relief and recovery from the problem in June. A new hairball could cause the problems now. I don't think hairballs show up on xrays very well. I'd think the vet could feel poo blocking up in the colon if theirs a hairball blocking the exit of it. -- Cheryl |

That does not sound good at all, I would not wait until Monday. Is there
an emergency vet you can take him? I'd get him in immediately. Since the first vet didn't find anything, it would be good to get a second opinion anyway. It looks like time is not on your side right now though, besides the new symptom -- cats cannot go longer than a day or two without eating before they start to develop fatty liver disease.

He did this same thing back in June and they did blood tests, xrays everything and found nothing wrong. He could have had a partial obstruction- which don't always produce dilated loops that can be seen on x-rays. Partial obstructions often become complete obstructions eventually. Well, today after I got off the phone with my vets office he vomitted again but this time it wasn't clear it was dark green almost black and smelled just like diarrea. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? He's only 2 years old. This sounds like an intestinal obstruction of some kind. When the small intestine becomes obstructed the microflora changes into something similar to the microflora in the large bowel- and with an overgrowth of fecal-type bacteria. That's what makes the vomit smell like feces. If I were you, I get a definitive diagnosis ASAP because if the vomiting is due to an intestinal obstruction all that bacteria can lead to toxemia and endotoxic shock which can quickly become fatal. Best of luck, Phil |
