What's wrong with vomiting from cats when feeding probiotics? First, you need to find out the reason why the cat vomits. If it is food poisoning, you can try to keep your cat on an empty stomach for a while and reduce the amount of food you eat to prevent the vomiting from worsening. If the symptoms persist, you may consider giving your cat a probiotic. Probiotics help improve the health of the digestive system, maintain a healthy environment in the gut, and promote cats’ ability to digest food.
1. When feeding probiotics to a cat, you need to choose the appropriate dose according to the cat's weight. If feeding too much or too fast, it will cause irritation to the cat's intestines, which may cause vomiting. Therefore, owners must pay attention to the use and dosage of the cat when feeding probiotics.
2. Stress response
If the cat resists very much during the process of feeding probiotics to the cat, then it is necessary to consider that the process of forced feeding probiotics has a great stress response to the cat, so vomiting occurs. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner mix probiotics in wet food, so that there is no smell and the cat can eat them by itself.
3. Not very adaptable to probiotics
Because some cats are picky about the taste and will vomit if they eat the taste they don't like. So at this time, the owner can stop feeding this probiotic and observe whether the cat continues to vomit. If it does not continue to vomit, then there is no big problem. Then the cat can be replaced with the probiotic it likes to feed. If the cat still vomits, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
4. Vomiting caused by disease
If a cat has abnormal mental, appetite, and bowel movements before feeding probiotics, then it is necessary to consider vomiting caused by disease, such as intestinal foreign bodies, gastroenteritis, cat plague, parasite infection, etc. This situation is more serious. You need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time, determine the specific cause, and then treat it.
Note: After the cat vomits probiotics, it is best not to feed them for the time being. You can observe the cat's condition first. If the cat is in good spirits and has no other symptoms, you can feed the cat some water 2-3 hours after vomiting to see if the cat vomits again. If it is not vomiting, you can feed a small amount of food every 2-3 hours, and after a period of conditioning, you can return to normal. But if the cat vomits multiple times, you need to seek medical treatment immediately.
