Hi all,
My cat vomited out partial undigested kibbles three hours after her lunch. Brought her to the vet and did blood test. Everything seems fine except for her Neutrophils is a little low. Doctor says that it seems as if she is having a viral infection in her guts and that could be one of the cause of why the Neutrophils is low. Organ and pancreas all normal. Red blood cell is a little high but doctor says that it could means that she's a little dehydrated due to the vomiting.
Doctor gave her an anti nausea spray to spray into her mouth if she's vomiting and to monitor it further. Doctor mentioned that it could be that she's eating too fast or too much hence the indigestion or it could be because she's running around after eating.
My cat have the tendency to run around after her lunch (4 grams of kibbles) but she seldom vomit. The only time she vomit was last Friday after she ate and ran around. But today, she ate at 10am and vomited at 1.30pm, hence I'm worried and brought her to the vet.
While at the vet clinic, I learnt that recently there's lots of sudden vomiting and diarrhoea cases that the clinic is seeing.
I'm bringing my cat back in three months to recheck on her Neutrophils to see if it's back to normal.
My questions will be:
1) What viral infection could cause the Neutrophils to be low? I understand that bone marrow issues could cause it as well hence the doctor suggested to bring my cat back in three months time to recheck on the Neutrophils. Doctor says that for the viral infection (not sure what viral infection, she does sneeze occasionally but no watery eyes or nose discharge. Maybe some stomach viral infection?), there's no antiviral medication so just let it run it course.
2) How long does it takes for kibbles to be fully digested? Three hours later of consuming the kibbles, she vomited out some partially digested kibbles.
3) Could the vomiting be due to her running around after eating? If yes, shouldn't the vomiting occur immediately? Why does it happens three hours later?
