1. Reasons for cat vomiting during pregnancy
1. Cat morning sickness
Cats also suffer from morning sickness, but not all cats have it. The duration and severity of morning sickness vary according to the cat’s constitution. During pregnancy, because of the increase in the secretion of estrogen, it is not easy to cause the body to cause vomiting. In addition, when the cat is pregnant for 3-4 weeks, the belly will gradually become larger, and the continuous expansion of the uterus will easily oppress the digestive system, resulting in Cat morning sickness.
2. Indigestion
Many pet owners supplement nutrition for pregnant cats and ensure the normal development of the fetus. It may be possible to replace other cat food with higher nutritional content for the pregnant cat, or suddenly increase a variety of complementary foods to feed the cat. However, the cat’s intestine is relatively sensitive, and suddenly eating a large amount of unfamiliar food is prone to intestinal discomfort and indigestion, which causes the cat to vomit, loss of appetite and other problems.
3. Gastroenteritis
It may be gastroenteritis caused by food irritation or ingestion of spoiled food, long-term hunger, overeating, etc., resulting in frequent vomiting and diarrhea in cats and other symptoms.
Second, what should I do if my cat vomits during pregnancy?
If a cat who is about a month pregnant has symptoms of vomiting, it is generally considered to be morning sickness. The owner needs to comfort the cat more, and then feed the cat some palatable food. Eat frequent meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
If the cat has vomiting symptoms after changing the food, it is recommended to change back to the previous cat food, and then give the cat some pet probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal flora. After the cat returns to normal, change the food for 7 days. The food method is to gradually replace the cat with new food. Usually, don’t feed your cat too much canned food, cat strips, boiled meat, nutritional paste and other complementary foods at a time. Feed it about 2-3 times a week, and add 1-2 samples each time.
If the cat vomits more frequently, it is recommended to fast for half a day, and then feed a little probiotics and glucose to replenish energy and regulate the stomach. If your cat’s vomiting persists, seek medical attention immediately.
