Sabrina is vomiting white foam! **update Fri. 10/23/08**

[Catlady711]

Friday morning I woke up to little vomit piles all over the livingroom. One was food, one was hair, and the rest white foam. I wasn't sure who was doing it since Pooky does tend to eat too much/fast and vomit food, but I've never seen one of my critters vomit white foam before. Just before I left for work I saw Sabrina vomit her breakfast back up. She normally doesn't vomit.

When I came home for lunch she ate just fine, acted normal, ate normal. Just before I went back to work she was vomiting white foam, a bit of hair, and a dab of her food but not all of it. I asked one of the vets at work about it and he said that if something upsets their tummy they can do that. Since she was eating and acting normally he didn't think it was something to get too worried about at this time.

However today she vomited like 7-8 times before breakfast, but she did eat her food and kept it down to my knowledge. (can't guarantee there isn't something nasty behind a couch or something) The vomit was mostly white foam with a bit of hair. I figured a hair ball so I gave everyone some hairball meds, which they were due for anyways. She ate hers just fine.

She didn't want to eat lunch today, she just plain turned her nose up at it. As it was I had to go bring her to the food dish, she was the only one that didn't come running.

She did drink some water out of the bathroom faucet and did want supper which I let her eat it on the counter (which I never do) so I could monitor how much she ate.

About 5 mintues later she vomited up the food and more white foamy stuff.

I called the ER clinic and they said to bring her in so that's where I'm heading now. My first ever run to the ER vets.

In researching vomiting white foam all I came up with on PT was for animals that had went to the RB and other things I found from Google weren't any more encouraging. Fortunately the ER clinic will give me a 25% professional discount because I work at a vet hospital.

Please keep her in your thoughts and pray HARD for her! And if you could also please pray for me that this won't bankrupt me!

I'll update you when I get back.

[Emeraldgreen]

I hope that the ER vet can figure out what is causing Sabrina to vomit so many times and why she is throwing up white foam. Poor girl. Please update us when you get a chance. I hope it's nothing serious!

[Catty1]

Prayers for Sabrina!

I hope they find something very solvable!

{{{{hugs}}}}

[Catlady711]

Ok so now it's 2:30 a.m. and we're home. Sabrina is in my bathroom now, poor thing had a stressful night.

She did very good at the ER vets office, she only tried to bite when they palpitated her and when they did x-rays. I muzzled her for them for the x-rays which they were nice enough to let me suit up and watch them! They had a digital x-ray which is a higher end version of our non digital one at work.

Anyways the only thing they could find wrong with her was bad constipation! So now I'm having horrible thoughts of a second megacolon cat. They did say stress could cause that. There has been alot of stress around the house lately plus they're doing construction all day near my house which don't help any.

They gave her an enema but she wouldn't poop for them, so they sent her home hoping she'd go when she's more relaxed. So far all she's done is pee.

They said I could give her some of Jack's Lactulose and calculated a dose for me for her size and fortunately for me she likes the stuff!

I gave her exactly 30 crunchies with 1/2 dose of the Lactulose on it and we'll see if she'll keep that down then I'll give the other part of the Lactulose and more food.

Right now I'm sitting at my cpu finally getting a chance to soak my toes and change my bandages from my toe surgery.

Fortunately the cost wasn't too bad with the professional discount they gave me, total bill was only $169. It would have been around $230 without the discount.

Oh and while I was there I found a card for a nearby place that does local cat behavior counceling for free! I'm going to be calling them Monday to see if we can get the marking urine and cat fighting to stop. I've already ordered one of the Feliway plug in's from work too.

Anyways so I just wanted to make sure to update you.

Thank you guys so much for the thoughts and prayers. Please keep praying that her food will stay down and she poops overnight or she has to go back to the ER.

[Medusa]

I didn't see this until this morning. My Puddy would vomit white foam on occasion and it was usually due to nausea because there was never any food in it. Once in a while I'd find some hair in it, as you experienced, but I figured that was from a hairball. I sure hope that all goes well for Sabrina and you. You're both in my prayers.

[moosmom]

It's weird you should mention vomiting foam because Mollie Rose has been doing that as well. I think it's because of post nasal drip due to her allergies. She's been using the box, eating and sleeping so I'm not too concerned.

You and Sabrina will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[Emeraldgreen]

I'm glad she is back home and I hope the lactulose will help her 'go'. I read your post last night and then this morning, what did I wake up to? White foam all over the dogs room! I don't know which dog it was but I have never seen foam before and there was a ton. It was almost as if they ate laundry soap! (they didn't though). Very weird. :confused:
Prayers that Sabrina does her business soon.
Hope your toe heals up as well!

[Catlady711]

So far no poop.:(

She's peed 3 times since we came home last night. I've seen her drink some water and she's eaten some food (not alot but is eating) and it's staying down so far. She licks the Lactulose right off the syring but she only will take about 1/2 or just a bit less of the dose they wanted her to have.

Since she's not messy on the rear like Jack usually is I moved her upstairs where it's far roomier and more comfy for her, and better for us (our bathroom is very small).

I'm just about to call them and ask since she's eating and not vomiting if it's ok to just take her to work with me in the morning or if I need to bring her back in tonight for another enema.

*sigh* why does it always have to be in the evening or on a weekend when our furbabies get sick?

I'll update you guys when I talk to the ER vet's office.


*edit*

Talked to ER dr. that saw her last night. He said that as long as she's not vomiting, she's eating some, and she's taking some of the Lactulose that it would be ok to wait until I go into work tomorrow. He did suggest giving her some canned pupkin, but I don't have any here and she HATES canned food anyways. I asked about giving her some of Jack's W/D dry for the fiber but he was afraid adding a different food might upset her tummy and start the vomiting again. I guess I could go get some canned pumpkin but I doubt she'll eat it.

[moosmom]

Canned pumpkin is a great idea and very good for her immune system. My friend puts it in her cat's canned food and they love it.

[katslady]

I hope Sabrina will poop for you soon. Glad the vomiting has stopped. If it is megacolon I have had great success with acupuncture. If you do not do it at your clinic I am sure they can suggest one for you. Good Luck! katslady P.S. most of the white foam vomit I have seen was stress induced.

[Catlady711]

katslady - Jack is a Megacolon cat and we've been having good luck, so far, using Lactulose, W/D, and Cisapride. No enemas since Spring. No we don't do acupuncture at our hospital. I'd have to ask if they have somewhere they refer for that if it comes down to that point. I'm hoping this is just a one time stress induced constipation. I'd feel so bad if I end up with two megacolon cats and Sabrina is only 2 years old.

Moonsmom - Unfortunately Sabrina doesn't like canned food.

I did however find a leftover can of pumpkin from when Jack used to get it and it was still in date. I took some of that up to her and she squinted, laid her ears down and made like spitting 'bleck' noises. I gave up because I'm afraid to get her going on the vomiting again.

I'll take her to work with me in the morning and see what they can do for her. She's going to have another enema I'm positive unless she poops alot overnight, which I'm hoping for. Normally when they give enemas where I work at the cats tend to be messier in the hind end than Sabrina was last night. Kinda makes me wonder if the ER vet gave her enough enema solution? But if she gets one from my work then she'll probably end up back in the bathroom again to contain the mess and eventually end up getting a bath. *sigh*

I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the prayers, keep them coming, Sabrina's rear end would appreciate it.

[Medusa]

*sigh* why does it always have to be in the evening or on a weekend when our furbabies get sick?

It's in their DNA. LOL Sure hope Sabrina feels better soon.

[kittykatharine]

I hope that Ms. Sabrina is able to have her bowel movement, so that she doesnt have to go to your work tommorrow. I also hope that her belly feels better and she isnt vomiting any longer. Positive vibes being sent your guys ways!:love::love::love:

[Catlady711]

Ok so here's the update scoop.

Sabrina did poop sometime last night or early this morning! :):)

However.....

I still took her to work with me because she didn't eat overnight and I found more piles of the hair and white foam vomit, and she didn't want to eat again.:(

The vet looked her over and felt her abdomen, she was cleaned out, no more poop inside. The poop she did pass was soft which is good, so the enema and lactulose must have softened it.

Her vet agreed with the ER vet that it probably wasn't anything she might have gotten into or swallowed based on the xrays and her symptoms.

We force fed her a little bit of canned A/D. That went pretty good considering Sabrina's normal personality at the vets office (I put a caution label on her file myself). She managed to keep that down this morning and I just brought her home and force fed her some more A/D. So far she's keeping that down but I'll have to check her again to make sure.

Her vet said that if she keeps vomiting or not eating then we'll have to probably do some lab work and dig a bit deeper trying to find out what's causing her tummy to be so upset.

Thank you again for the support and prayers. Please keep them coming for my furbaby, she's never really been sick before and meowme is worried about her.

[Medusa]

So it's a good news/bad news scenario, more good than bad, though. We'll keep the prayers coming......

[Catlady711]

Well she kept down what I force fed her this afternoon, and did manage to eat about 5 crunchies on her own.

I force fed her again small amounts twice this evening and so far everything is staying down. I know it's not nearly enough food for her but the vet said not to let her eat a whole bunch anyways yet because it may upset her tummy again.

She has a water fountain in the room and she must be drinking because I've cleaned out a couple pee clumps from her litterbox. I wish I could monitor her drinking better but that's difficult to do with a cat. At least with the canned A/D I know she's getting some water in that in addition to whatever she's drinking. The vet didn't seem to think she was dehydrated so that's good. I was worried about that with all the vomiting she did.

I don't get it, she acts hungry, is acting perky today, wants to play, is purring, in all other aspects acting normal, she just doesn't want to eat on her own. Even when I force feed her she's not thrilled about it, but she doesn't really spit the food out either. Oh well, at this point just getting food to stay down is the big thing.

I hope whatever is wrong with her goes away soon and I can let her back out into the house with the rest of the cats. She's so lonely in there and the other cats keep hanging around the door like 'mommy why is Sabrina in kitty jail?'. Makes me feel guilty for some reason.

Anyways thank you again for the support and prayers. It must be working because the food is staying down. YAY.

[Craftlady]

Skinny had tummy issues early spring and he was given a tummy medication for a week. Settled his tummy and no more foam vomiting.
His diagnosis was gastritis (spell?). His appretite never left him and thankfully he never upchucked food.

[jazzcat]

Glad her food is staying down. Prayers and positive thoughts that she keeps on the road to recovery.

[kittykatharine]

That is wonderful the food is staying down. I know force feeding our babies can be very rough. I have had to do this before and I know it causes mixed feelings - just remeber you are helping her and it is important she keeps food in her belly. Hang in there Sabrina! :love::love::love:

[Catlady711]

Sabrina is still in the spare room.

Breakfast - I had to force feed her as she still didn't want to eat on her own. No vomit though so she's keeping what I've been giving her down. Either she's drinking or she's getting enough water from the canned food because there was a pee clump in the sandbox this morning.


Lunch - Her vet said I could increase the amount of canned food I'm force feeding since things are staying down now so she can now have two teaspoons full of food each time and see how that goes. She was alert and playful this afternoon and even ate about 5 of her crunchies on her own!:) Another pee clump in the sandbox again, no poop though. I played with her and brought Bear in to visit her. She was very happy to see him, she ran over and shoved her head under his chin (which means 'wash my head for me'). Bear licked her, she licked him, and they sniffed each other alot. I think she was sad when I had to put him back out again. *sigh*

Dinner - Looked like she may have eaten a couple of her crunchies, the bowl looked like it had been rooted in a bit. Nothing in the sandbox this time. She's still playful and wants to come out very much. I force fed her again and played, petted and cuddled her until she purred so loud I think the neighbors could hear her. lol

Late Supper - She peed for me while I was up there, no poop in the sandbox though and I'm getting a bit concerned now, it feels like there's some in her. I'm also concerned about the red spot on her left ear. I pointed it out to the ER and her regular vet but neither seemed concerned about it. I noticed today it's a bit larger and darker, and she was scratching at it a couple times. It may be nothing, but it worries her mommy.:( I do have GOOD NEWS though, she ate 30 crunchies on her own. I didn't have to force feed her!!! I actually distracted her with a toy before she was done. I'd hate for her to eat a whole bunch on her own only to go back to vomiting again.

If she still hasn't pooped by morning, or the ear still looks like it bothers her she's going back into work with me tomorrow.

I may work at a vet hospital, but I'm just a pet owner inside and know just enough just to scare the crap out of myself when it comes to my furbabies. LOL

I took some pix of her tonight, I'll post them as soon as I get them downsized.

[Catlady711]

Sabrina update:

She pooped sometime overnight and it was soft so definately can't be another megacolon cat, however everytime we make some progress she has something else go wrong.

Sometime last night she also vomited up all the food I had given her in the evening, as well as a small hairball. *sigh* She's not eating on her own again/still, so all day I've had to force feed her. I came home this evening and found two small spots of the white foam vomit she had left on the carpet.:eek:

Now for the BAD NEWS????

Sassy has started vomiting white foam!!!:eek::eek:

I'm going to get both of them into the vet tomorrow. Either it's got to be the food, something they both got into, or something contagious. I'm really hoping I didn't bring something home from work and give it to my babies. We have had alot of sick cats at work lately, but none of them were vomiting white foam though.

I'm guessing that they're going to need some kind of medication. The wait and see approach just isn't cutting it this time.

I just hope none of the other cats start getting sick too. I can't possibly have time to force feed 7 cats all day!

PLEASE keep my kitties in your prayers. They could really use your PT collective get well wishes.

[Catty1]

oh NO. I hope the culprit is found...and that it might be a very treatable "kitty flu".

HUGS and PT Prayers for you and the furbabies!

[Medusa]

Well now, just when things were looking brighter. Ok, prayers going out your way right this second......

[Emeraldgreen]

What brand of dry and wet food do you feed your cats?

[jazzcat]

What brand of dry and wet food do you feed your cats?
That's what I was wondering too. I'd be suspecting the food. With all the contamination problems last year and the reported problems with Nutro this year you just never know.

I sure hope it's nothing serious. Prayers and positive thoughts on the way.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I hope that you'll be able to find out what's causing this and that it can be easily treated. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

[Catlady711]

I don't have alot of time to update, as it is I'm supposed to be doing something else then head to bed. But I wanted to update you guys on my two torties.

After Sassy turning down food last night and this morning as well as breathing fast and growling at everyone including hubby (who she loves) I was in a panic. Add to that Sabrina turning down breakfast and doing the vomiting again.

Anyways poor Sassy had a temp of over 104!!:eek: Sabrina's was only slightly above normal. The consenses was that they have a virus they're passing around. They spent the day at work with me today and got injections of cortisone and antibiotics, and already they're eating better, and keeping the food down for the last two feedings.

I'm just trying to keep the peace because I let both of them out of confinement and the trio of sibs aren't getting along at the moment. I'm hoping they'll be ok to leave out overnight, otherwise I'll have to shut a couple of them in again for a while longer.

I was also told to keep a watch on everyone else. If anyone else starts to get sick I can just pick up the medication if anyone needs it.

Hopefully this will be the last of it and everyone will go back to being healthy and getting along.

Thank you guys again for the PT prayers. My kittes and I very much appreciate all of you.

*PS I'll try to get a chance online tomorrow night and post those pix of Sabrina I took and maybe get a few of Sassy for you.

[Medusa]

Here's hoping that you and the furkids have been through the worst of it now and that things will be back to normal soon. :)

[jazzcat]

Well at least you know what it is now and hopefully they will be over it quickly with no more outbreaks.

Wonder how they got a virus? Do they go outside?

[Catlady711]

Wonder how they got a virus? Do they go outside?

No they are basically indoor cats. I say 'basically' because they do occasionally go outside on a leash or into the Katzenhaus outside, but always supervised.

Most likely I brought the virus home from work on my clothes or hair. We've had alot of sick cats come in recently.

My furbabies update:

So far they've been doing pretty good. Sassy didn't want lunch today, but ate all her other meals and kept them down. Sabrina has ate every meal and kept it down. Neither are eating quite as much as they had before, but eating a fair amount enough I'm not overly worried at this point. I'm just happy they're not vomiting.

Bad news is Josh got all bent out of shape over them smelling like 'vet' and started having a literal 'hissy' fit. So now he's the one shut in the spare room, and he's not happy about it. He keeps meowing pittifully and bouncing up trying to turn the doorknob, but I have to keep him in there until he gets lonely enough he'll not try to attack everyone in the house. *sigh*

Oh and add to the stress....Today I got bit a little bit by a cat, and of all things it was already muzzled!!! I say bit a 'little bit' because it's only a tiny puncture, and feels about like when I accidentally poke myself with a needle. I'm thinking that since this is the 3rd time I've gotten bitten at work, and twice in the same year I'm going to update my tetnaus shot this week. *sigh*

Thank you everyone for your prayers for my furbabies. It must be working because they seem to be doing alot better.

I'll update you when I get back.worms can cause a cat to vomit like that, the cat can get worms from fleas, eating dead mice or anything that is carrying their eggs, its real common in fleas

[Catlady711]

worms can cause a cat to vomit like that, the cat can get worms from fleas, eating dead mice or anything that is carrying their eggs, its real common in fleas


I know. We don't have mice in our house, and the cats are always treated every month with Revolution. Even though we've never had a flea problem, I'd rather prevent it from happening to start with.

The type of worms cats get from fleas/rodents is the tape worm and is most commonly seen as white rice like segments on the stool or around the rear end. Vomiting worms is more commonly associated with Roundworms which are a different type of worm and look more like long round spaghetti. (sorry for the food references, but that's how we usually describe them at work.)

As for an update on my trio of little ones...

After rotating who had to be shut in all 3 are now back to getting along and eating out of the same bowl again.

Sassy & Sabrina have not vomited recently. Shortly after they started having an appetite again they did do some vomiting (not the white foam though) mostly because they ate too fast and too much. I guess they were trying to make up for lost time. I started taking their food away before they were done to help gradually get them back up to their normal amounts of food. Things have been going very well since then.

Thank you all again for the PT prayers. My babies very much appreciate it, as well as their meowmy!

[thesun898]

So far no poop.:(

She's peed 3 times since we came home last night. I've seen her drink some water and she's eaten some food (not alot but is eating) and it's staying down so far. She licks the Lactulose right off the syring but she only will take about 1/2 or just a bit less of the dose they wanted her to have.

Since she's not messy on the rear like Jack usually is I moved her upstairs where it's far roomier and more comfy for her, and better for us (our bathroom is very small).

I'm just about to call them and ask since she's eating and not vomiting if it's ok to just take her to work with me in the morning or if I need to bring her back in tonight for another enema.

*sigh* why does it always have to be in the evening or on a weekend when our furbabies get sick?

I'll update you guys when I talk to the ER vet's office.


*edit*

Talked to ER dr. that saw her last night. He said that as long as she's not vomiting, she's eating some, and she's taking some of the Lactulose that it would be ok to wait until I go into work tomorrow.

I guess I could go get some canned pumpkin but I doubt she'll eat it. wach what your cat is eating they sometimes pick up things off the floor or outside and sometime this gives them a reaction, my cat ashes is real good at this and some times he foams a little at the mouth but it is because of what he ate

[Catty1]

sun, did you read the last thing Catlady posted???


I started taking their food away before they were done to help gradually get them back up to their normal amounts of food. Things have been going very well since then.

THEY ARE FINE. And this lady is a vet tech, so I am sure she is aware of the stuff you mentioned.

I hope your furbabies are well.

[rosebudfury]

my cat wonka is 6 yrs old he has been throwing up with foam no hair just foam before he does this he meows wierd? he is eating and going to the bathroom .dont know what is going on does any one have any clue..http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/rosebudfury/m_08ab72e565e3e0d7cb4d27d17ea43f4d.jpg

[Catty1]

rosebudfury - start a new thread with your question and you will get more responses. This one is over a year old! :-)

I would say take your kitty to the vet for a check-over.

Welcome to Pet Talk. :)

Welcome to Pet Talk. :) thank you i am new here and did not know

[Catlady711]

thank you i am new here and did not know


That's ok and understandable. On some boards the encourage renewing older threads on similar topics. Here it can go either way, however many people will miss your question and respond to an obsolete thread title instead of the question buried within it.

I second the vet visit. In my Sabrina's case she had a respiratory infection or virus that cause her to vomit the white foam. She required antibiotics and cortisone to fix her up. Your kitty will likely benefit more and faster with a visit to her vet.

And welcome to PT.

[astralis]

I realize this thread is old but it looks like the people involved have some true experience about it.

My cat has vomited two days in a row and eventually only vomited foam today (saliva?). Now she has no appetite and won't drink water.

It's Saturday evening and I can't get to a vet until Monday. Do you think she'll be okay, although a bit dehydrated, by Monday?

Any advice?

[Karen]

How old is she? Is this new? Has she eaten anything? Is she acting lethargic?

I know you said there are no vets nearby, but maybe try calling an emergency vet - there are two near me - Boston area - that have staff there 24/7, and might be able to at least hear you out over the phone and tell you what to look for.

Angell Memorial: (617) 522-7282

Vescone: (781) 684-8387

[Catlady711]

When cat's don't eat they're usually pretty sick. And yes not drinking can cause some very bad dehydration.

If it was my cat I'd head to the ER if your regular vet isn't in, I wouldn't wait until Monday.

Her thread title says there's no emergency vet nearby. We don't know where she lives, but I gave her two numbers I know are staffed 24 hours a day, so at least she can talk to someone.

[astralis]

This is new behavior. This cat loves food, in all forms. She stopped eating today and shows no interest at all in food. I can open up a can of wet food, her favorite, right in front of her and she won't even look at it.

She still has a little bit of spunk but she seems to be slowing down. She's sitting in odd locations: dark corners.

She's is a young cat, probably right out of adolescence.

She's been vomiting for two days but the first day did not seem strange because my cats sometimes go through a spell of vomiting for a day (hairball, probably). But now it's serious.

[krazyaboutkatz]

astralis, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat.:( I'd definitely be calling an ER clinic and most likley taking her in to be seen. She may have eaten something that she's not supposed to or may even have something like pancreatitis like my Ziggy had. Hopefully you'll be able to get her some help soon. I'll be keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.

[Catlady711]

You must have posted at the same time I did because I did not see your other reply or I would have figured it out. I don't typically read the individual post titles, just the posts so I didn't see the part about no ER vet nearby. Sorry.

[astralis]

I called a vet clinic in a different city and they said I should bring her in -- which is impossible tonight. I'll do it in the morning, though, when I can drive. They wouldn't be able to see her for another three hours anyhow.

did you ever figure out what it was? my cat finley has started doing this the past few days, yesterday morning we took him to the er and they did a blood test, gave him fluids and felt his abdomen which they said felt soft (not a tumor) and did his anal glands which were pretty full. he felt better that night, and this morning, but now this afternoon he's vomiting again, he has diarrhea and is going to dark corners like your cat! the er said to take him to the vet if it persists, and i just called my vet and they say to take him to the er. i'm completely confused.
