Why Is My Cat Vomiting?

Why Is My Cat Vomiting?

21 Dec / 2017



Written By: Binita Published In: Cat-Blog Hits: 1557 Comment: 0

Most cats vomit occasionally, so how do you know when to worry? This depends on whether the cat is otherwise well or has health problem causing her to vomit. Clear as mud?
Look at it this way. Occasional vomiting can be normal. For example, when a feral cat goes hunting, she gobbles down the kill extra quick before another cat steals it. She digests what she can, and then vomits back the indigestible bits like fur or feather. This is normal, and Mother Nature’s way of keeping her healthy.

There is an argument which says pet cats, just like feral cats, are designed to vomit from time to time. For a lap cat this might be triggered by a hairball, when hair rubbing the stomach lining triggers the vomiting reflex and up it pops onto the lounge room carpet. This is an example of a ‘happy’ vomiter doing as nature intended with nothing much to worry about.

Why Does My Dog Drink More Water?

Why Does My Dog Drink More Water?

Does your dog have urinary accidents in the house?
Or perhaps he pesters to go out, more than he used to?
Both of these are hints your dog needs to pee more, probably because he’s drinking more water. Sometimes it’s easier to spot these clues than it is to monitor the water bowl, especially if you have several dogs all sharing the same facilities.

If your dog is drinking more, should you be worried?
Yes and no.

There are times when thirst is normal and healthy. These are:

  • A change of diet from wet to dry food
  • Hot weather
  • Food and Water

For example, water makes up to 75% of the ingredients in canned dog food. Whereas in dry dog kibble this is more like 6 – 10%. Change from canned dinners to dry kibble and your dog needs to drink more in order to re-hydrate the food in his stomach and replace the missing water.

Is your cat drinking more water than she used too?
If she is, then this could be significant and a chat to your vet is advisable.
The vet-speak term for drinking more is ‘polydipsia’ and the word for peeing-more is ‘polyuria’. There are many reasons a cat may drink and pee more, of which the chart toppers are kidney or liver disease, overactive thyroid glands, and sugar diabetes. But thirst can occur for other reasons, not all of which are worrying.
Cats are secretive about their drinking habits, which means it’s not always obvious when a cat is drinking more. Needing to refill the water bowl regularly is one clue, but the litter box is a bigger one. What goes into the cat must come out, and so large, wet patches in the litter tray bear witness to her thirst.

When Drinking More Is Normal
Have you ever changed your cat’s food, and then been suspicious she is drinking more?
If the menu swap was from canned food to dry kibble, then it’s more than likely she is and you have the explanation right there.

The canine distemper virus (CDV) causes a highly contagious disease in dogs known as distemper. Dogs who contract distemper suffer damage to their gastrointestinal, central nervous and respiratory systems. It's vitally important to vaccinate against distemper as it is incurable and often fatal.

Puppies between the ages of three and six months are most susceptible to the disease, although older dogs can also contract distemper.

Its shame that most dog owners don’t realize that dental hygiene is as important for their dogs as it is for them. Teeth that have been neglected are subject to several types of mouth disease just like their human friends.

We know that if we don't brush our teeth, plague will build up and eventually cause tooth decay. The same thing happens to dogs. When plaque builds up and hardens, it becomes a coarse brown substance called tartar. As tartar accumulates, it can work its way under the gums and cause painful infections and gum disease. This goes on in the mouths of dogs just as it does in people. You brush your teeth every day, probably three times, but your dog depends upon you for his dental hygiene.
