Your cat may be a serious medical concern. Please make an appointment to see a vet as soon as possible. Also, a fresh stool sample should be checked for parasites.

Vomiting is the expulsion of food, fluid or debris from the stomach or small intestine due to coordinated movements of the gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It is important to differentiate this from regurgitation, which is a passive process rather than a coordinated effort like vomiting.

Vomiting is forceful emptying of the stomach. 90% of the time, this symptom is caused by a benign, limited viral infection. However, it can be the first symptom of far more serious problem such as appendicitis or infection, urinary or more serious. It is seen with poison ingestion and sometimes with concussion.

Hairballs are a common problem in cats that groom themselves frequently, as well as in those that have long hair. When a cat grooms itself, it swallows hair, and over time the hair can accumulate within the stomach. Eventually, the hair causes enough irritation to the stomach that the cat will vomit it up.

Side effects of chemotherapy depend on which drug or drugs you are taking, the dosage and the length of treatment. Some people experience few or no side effects.

We routinely utilize drugs to prevent nausea and vomiting before administering chemotherapy.

It is important to rule out parasitism as best as possible in cases such as these. A fecal flotation for worms is a good idea. Parasites such as whipworms or giardia may be difficult to detect so a short course of treatment to rule out their presence might also be a good idea, especially in the dog. Pancreatic Enyzyme insufficiency or chronic pancreatic inflammation might cause chronic vomiting or diarrhea.

Nausea refers to the queasy feeling in your throat or your stomach. Vomiting is when you actually get rid of the contents of your stomach through your mouth. Sometimes the combination of nausea and vomiting is called emesis.

For many phobics, vomiting is something unknown. They're much like the child of three or four who has no recollection of ever vomiting. Most children vomit fairly regularly throughout childhood; they come to realize that it's a rather routine happening for them and most other people. Not the emetophobic. They may have vomited as a small child, but then did not do so again until the episode that brought on their phobia. They never learned that vomiting is a normal part of life.
