Hello everyone.
My cat started throwing up throughout Thursday night. It was just yellow liquid together with white foam.
In the morning he was sluggish and sleepy, but that was understood as he spent the night throwing up (around 3 times).
He ate that day and drank water (I didn't give him cat milk as usual, I thought it was better this way.) The first twelve hours like I said, he wasn't as playful and just slept a bunch. But the same day he got better. Got back to his normal self.
Saturday passed as usual, but Sunday, 4am, he threw up white foam and yellow liquid again.
He also had/has diarrhea. There's no blood, no anything in it.
So, I've noticed a pattern a little bit. I've already been to this site asking for help.
He seemes to throw up every month and a half. And he'd have diarrhea. But, before today, he would throw up food.
So, I'm assuming the issue might be hairballs? He can't expel them properly and this is why it's happening.
Those are the clues I've been given on a different site.
But, also, they reminded us of the possibility for a urinary tract disease and something else.
Now. I want to know, first of, what to do as for right now. How do I help my cat become better? Second of, what do these symptoms mean? What's going on? And lastly, how necessary is a visit to the vet? (Money is tight with the Corona situation.)
I think I've asked all the important stuff. If there's anything I've forgotten, please add on in your comment.
Thank you so much for your help.
