Happy Cats

I thought you might be interested in this article


My cat has this bad habit of intermittently throwing up.

Most of the times hair balls become small projectiles landing somewhere in the house.

But last night I had a very unpleasant surprise.

As I was going to sleep..Very Very tired from a late night emergency...I put my head down on my pillow into..

A BIG WET Hair Ball.

Of course the next time I will put on the light to check the pillow.


You john should be able to treat your vomiting pet at home.


THE CAUSES.


The list is large, although most common is garbage gut. Your pet consumes something he shouldn't resulting in vomiting. Other causes include medications ( ie Aspirin), parasites, food allergies, liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, cancer, infectious causes ( ie parvovirus), metabolic disorders ( thyroid disease, diabetes), physical obstructions ( ie a ball) and primary motility disorders ( the stomach doesn't contract normally).


THE SOLUTIONS.


ASSESS SEVERITY. If your pet is vomiting persistently and unable to retain even water, then wait no longer than 24 hours before seeing your veterinarian. This indicates a severe problem such as an obstruction that needs to be treated with IV fluids and possibly surgery. IF your pet is still drinking and only intermittent vomiting, then you can try some of the home remedies.


FASTING TIME. A 24 hour fast is the most important thing you can do to allow your cat's inflamed stomach to heal. Allow access to controlled amounts of water, but no food. After 24 hours offer bland food such as plain white cooked rice; give equivalent amounts of rice as you do dog or cat food. After 48 hours mix their regular food with rice and don't fully go to regular food until after 72 hours.


A CUP OF TEA. Peppermint Tea is an old remedy used for upset stomachs in people. Brew up a strong cup of tea, but allow it to cool before offering. Give your cat 1 tablespoon.


FOOD ALLERGENS. For dogs and cats with problems of chronic vomiting, I strongly recommend a diet change. Preferably switch to a hypoallergenic food or homemade allergy diet. At the very least, change to a premium quality food. I find that some pets respond to a more natural diet, such as Innova or California Natural.


HAIR BALLS. A common cause of vomiting in cats is due to alll the hair they groom from themselves. If hair balls are causing the vomiting, then you should be regularly finding hair in the vomit! The most effective remedy is to add a laxative (Vaseline) to your cat's diet. Give him 1 teaspoon per day for 3-5 days, then give it once weekly for the regualr hair ball vomiters.
