sick cat?

by Dee
(Texas)

my cat hasn't pooped for a few days and has been throwing up but it's only liquid b/c he's not eating either. He's app 17 yo. Any help is appreciated.


Answer by Kate
I am sorry but it is impossible to diagnose something like this accurately. It could be something as simple as a hairball, often clear liquid is vomited when they are trying to clear a hairball from their throat/tummy. Please see my web page about this problem here https://www.our-happy-cat.com/hairballs.html

the other possibility is that hey may be ill and will need some treatment from a vet.

If your cat is still vomiting and not eating in another day or so or if the symptoms gets worse then take them to a vet asap, sometimes hairballs get stuck and need the assistance of a vet anyway.

best wishes kate
