Does your cat throw up white foam?
If you see your cats throwing up white foam, you may be concerned. After all, humans tend to vomit due to an illness — sometimes a severe illness. However, the action and causes for a cat throwing up white foam is actually quite common. If you notice your cat exhibiting such behavior, it’s important to know the possible causes of the vomiting. Then you can decide whether you should take your feline fur baby to the vet.
1. Hairballs
One of the most common causes of a cat throwing up white foam is a hairball. Hairballs occur because when cats groom themselves, they end up swallowing some of their hair. This turns into a hairball in the cats’ digestive systems. Cats should be able to digest this fur — after all, they eat critters with fur and are constant groomers. When hairballs become a problem, it is usually a sign of a lack of digestive enzymes, a problem that is particularly prevalent in older cats.
2. Dietary Changes
Another factor that can cause your cat to throw up white foam is dietary change. Cats sometimes protest changes to their diet by rejecting a meal or eating later than normal. Whether a cat eats or not, her body will produce the digestive juices necessary to break down food. The result is often vomiting.
For the same reason, a change to your cat’s feeding schedule can lead to vomiting white foam.
3. Stomach Inflammation
When stomach inflammation (called gastritis) is the cause of your cat throwing up white foam, it may be accompanied by a lack of appetite. Your cat may vomit bile or blood in addition to the white foam.
Causes for Concern When Your Cats Are Throwing Up White Foam
If your cat is just responding to a change in feeding or has the occasional a hairball, you can relax. However, if your cat’s vomiting is due to gastritis, a visit to the vet may be in order. Other symptoms of gastritis may include sluggishness, dehydration, depression, and stomach discomfort.
Cats eat hair; that’s a fact.
However, they should be able to digest that hair. Sometimes cats need a little help with their digestion. For hairballs, stomach inflammation, and dietary changes, try a combination of Vitality Science’s Pet Flora, Luxolite and Super Pet Enzymes.
“Consistant Results!
I have been using this product [Pet Flora] since 2005. Kittens and adult cats sometimes have issues regarding their regularity. It works overnight! A ‘can’t miss’ product. I’m never without it…” -Catherine C., Vitality Science Customer
If your cat is throwing up white foam, yellow foam, no food, small amount of hair…
Elevate the Food Bowl enough to make your cat eat standing up. Should resolve itself within a few days. This relaxes the digestive tract enough to lower the amount of stomach acid being produced.
Hi my cats occasionally throw up white foam with a little fur ball but their poops are like little fur sausages with a thin coating of poop – is there something I should be doing about this?
Hi Karen, Although, JBrown has an excellent suggestion, we would also like to suggest Vitality Science’s Super Pet Enzymes. Adding this to the food will help to dissolve hair and other undigested items in the GI Track. Resulting in my formed stools and expelling more stools from the GI Tract. Thanks for writing in and let us know how else we can help.
My cat vomits daily some days multilup times. Always after eating and drinking water. Recently he lost bowl control
This cat is 14 years old so I’m concerned
I recommend our Gastro Prime protocol. I will send the comprehensive strategy to your personal email.
My cat is about 3 years old and he recently started losing weight and he WILL eat but throws it up and is continuing to throw up even the white foam if he hasnt eaten. I don’t know what the problem is or how to fix it :(
It is not unusual for the pathological basis of any suffering to be unknown. After all, biological organisms are extraordinarily complex. This is despite so-called modern medical science telling us they understand what is going on down to the gene, and what little they don’t know will soon be revealed. On the other hand, we do know in great detail what natural supplements and nutritional inputs will reverse cats throwing up white foam. I will send more detail to your email.
Hi, any suggestions on what to use for a my 11 year old tabby with probable IBD? She is ALWAYS hungry, has soft formed poops that STINK, and has lost a lot of weight. However, she is well hydrated, and eats all the time. She does leave SOME food in her dish and sits there like
she wants something else when there is still food available.
Hello,
I recommend the Gastro Prime Protocol. It contains enzymes to improve assimilation and Pet Flora to deal with the pathogens causing the unpleasant smell. I will send you more information to your email.
