I am planning on taking her to the vet tomorrow... Wondering if anyone else has possibly had this experience.
After Chilli’s recent dental cleaning, my vet said I need to start brushing the cats’ teeth every day. I’ve done it a few times this week with the CET Poultry flavor toothpaste. I tried to just use a little but I’m sure the cats ingested some. Chilli has been fine, but Clove has been vomiting. I thought it was just a hairball or something at first, but now I’m wondering if the toothpaste is causing it... I brushed her teeth on Wednesday morning; she vomited a short while later and then a few times later that day. I was a little concerned but she was acting totally normal otherwise. Didn’t brush on Thursday... no vomit, unless I’m remembering wrong. Brushed again on Friday morning/today... she vomited bile a short while later, several times throughout the day while I was at work, and eventually white foam tonight... poor thing had an empty stomach... but thankfully she ate lots of food eagerly after that, and has kept it down so far. I did notice she had been a little extra twitchy/itchy lately too, but maybe that’s a coincidence.
I was very worried about the repeated vomiting tonight and wondering if I needed to take her to the emergency vet, but it’s hard to justify that expense when she’s acting totally normal otherwise. When I take her tomorrow I think I’ll ask them to do an x ray just in case... worried about obstruction, constipation, foreign object, hairball... we’ll see. Poor girl vomited so much that her meow is all scratchy now.
