If you suddenly heard your cat burp and are wondering what the cause could be, there are a couple of reasons you can consider:
● Excess air that
your cat has swallowed while eating or taking her medicine needs to be released
through burping. This situation is a rare case.
● Gastrointestinal
issues are common in cats. Problems like a sensitive stomach, acid reflux,
indigestion, and hairballs can cause your cat to burp.
● Because of
gastrointestinal upset, your cat’s esophagus could be inflamed, which would
lead to esophagitis and cause burping. The inflammation could also come from
the scratching of the esophagus from your cat’s oral medicine.
● Anesthetic procedures can also cause burping. It is not a common cause for burping but, due to the effect the anesthetic would have on your cat’s digestion, it is possible. The burping can stop when the effects wear off.
Take a proactive approach to your
pet’s health with regular health and wellness checks at your vet London, ON.
