A stomach
upset may be triggered by eating something that causes irritation of the
digestive tract or it could also be due to indigestion. However, there are
instances when it could mean something more. Thus, it’s important to keep a
close eye on your pet for the next 12-24 hours after vomiting to see if there
are other symptoms that will be manifested and/or if vomiting continues. Here
are some tips to avoid stomach upsets in cats:
- Don’t give milk to your kitty because there are cats that are lactose intolerant. Kittens don’t have as much of a problem because their bodies still produce lactase, the enzyme that is necessary to help digest lactose in milk. However, adult cats don’t produce enough quantities of the enzyme thus consuming milk can increase their risks to indigestion.
- Avoid giving people food to cats because most of these foods are high in fats and oils. Also, people food does not provide a complete and balanced diet for cats.
If vomiting
persists over 24 hours, you should call your veterinary clinic Carrollton, GA.
