Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / August 2005Vomiting and lethargy in my cat
My 7 year old cat has been off color for the last few days - generally a bit lethargic, quiet, and vomiting. Last night he ended up at the ER vet because he vomited 5 times during the afternoon. He was checked over, found to have a temperature of 104*F and given a synulox shot (amoxycilin) and a dose of metacam. He has further synulox tablets until he sees his regular vet Monday. He's only thrown up once since last night, but he's listless, doesn't want to eat, and is clearly feeling lousy. He doesn't appear to have diarrhea - he certainly hasn't gone in his box. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it could be or whether I need to think of other angles?

Give him anything that might appeal to him - try tuna or some other wet food that has a strong smell. Also he should drink - dehydration could complicate matters. Camilla Have him see his regular vet. Gail >> My 7 year old cat has been off color for the last few days - generally >> a bit lethargic, quiet, and vomiting.

One of my cats did vomit when she had a respiratory infection. She scares me when she has a fever because she gets very lethargic.

He ended up back at the ER vet as he was lousy all day. We checked him over again, and it turned out that his anal glands had become infected and an absess was staring to develop. The vet sorted it out, gave him some more antibiotics, painkiller and anti-inflamatory, and he sees his regular vet tomorrow. Vomiting has stopped, and he felt well enough to eat. He's also kept the food down. My thanks to those who replied. Helen M |
