Here's why:
* Vomiting can be a sign of serious health issues: It could be anything from a simple hairball to a life-threatening condition.
* Only a vet can diagnose the cause: They will be able to examine your cat, run tests, and determine the best course of treatment.
To help your vet, you can gather information about your cat's vomiting:
* How long has it been happening?
* How often does it happen?
* What does the vomit look like? (Color, consistency, etc.)
* Does your cat have any other symptoms? (Diarrhea, lethargy, appetite changes, etc.)
* Has your cat recently eaten anything unusual? (New food, plant material, etc.)
While you wait for your vet appointment, you can:
* Keep your cat hydrated: Offer fresh water frequently.
* Restrict food: Hold off on feeding your cat until the vet determines the cause of the vomiting.
Do not give your cat any human medications without your vet's approval.
Remember, your cat's health is your priority. Contacting a vet is the best way to ensure they receive the proper care.
